Hey all!


For those of you who experience schadenfreude or just to negate the idea 
that it has been smooth sailing, here is a recounting of my mistress, 
Vandyke Brown, going all high maintenance.

Last month I made a about 150cc of vandyke brown according to the recipe 
in Chris James book and I got a lot of precipitate that is still 
reluctant to do any substantial settling. I have only been able to draw 
off about 40 cc of solution to print from. (I am going to make some new 
vdb today).

With the light ground vdb prints I have been working on, one image in 
particular seems to display a random stain (different places, same 
negative, each time I print it). It doesn't bleach away with potassium 
ferricyanide.

Other than that it has been terribly cold in Ohio and my basement 
dimroom is very cold to work in.

Happy Groundhog Day!
