[Alt-photo] Re: Solargraph and other techniques with photo paper

[Darryl Baird]

I'm always interested in Lumen prints and NOW these solargraphs. It
does seem to be a trend to use paper for unique images. 

Take a look at

setup a pinhole camera in a location (usually facing the sun so you can

6+months). Opening up or checking your exposure will ruin the process
much the same as it would just taking photo paper out of the package.
Also the image can never really be fixed as it will bleach out the
print. Exposure to further light will also degrade the image (even the
scanner light) On May 3, 2013, at 6:40 PM, Jack Fulton

Secondly, how did you finalize the process? Thanks Jack On May 3, 2013,
