Cy-Rex
Oops! It seems that I missed the other topic :) Well, I was very busy on recent months (because of the Biennial) and this project was waiting me for further testing. When I took the test prints from the drawer they were resting (to show them to Mike Ware - he was here in Istanbul a couple of weeks ago) I noticed that some of the Cy-Rex test print were showing mold-growth! The other prints (Classic, New) which were stored exactly in the same location with the Cy-Rex prints didn't show this mold growth - I should also add that I had never experienced anything like this in my whole Cyanotype printing adventure. This was the last point for me; I immediately dropped the idea of further testing Cy-Rex... (I already wasn't liking what I got before.) Frankly, I don't want to loose more time with this nonsense - I feel this even stronger now, after participating Keith's gum and Sandy's carbon workshops. I just want to do beatiful gums and carbons and plan to dedicate all my spare time to these - at least for a couple of months... In short, Cy-Rex is a no-no to me. I don't want to deal with it right now (probably in the future too)... Anyway, I may change my mind later and continue to the tests and present the findings (with scans) in a formal way but I just don't want to loose my already-little-time-which-can-be-devoted-to-photography with this... err... stuff.

And now for something completely different. I was wondering these days if you had any results with cyanotype rex. |
