...but I think I need some specifics before I start making the
'creative' mistakes. I think you referred to them as "rigid to the rules
in preparation".
You said 'silver gelatin'...could you give me a good film to begin
with. And the chemicals would be b&w developer, fixer, etc.???
Is there a 'creative' process and then a standard such as
....once the film is manipulated do you stop-fix-and hypo
the film for certain time lengths, etc. I believe you illuded
to a process that might be helpful for me to know.
The kicker is 'no darkroom'. Please explain!

Hi Wendy,
Thanks for the compliment. My process has mostly to do with setting up
somewhat
controlled environments whereby I am sometimes able to capture something
chaotic
within the four corners of a piece of film... Stay rigid to the rules in
preparation and when the technical and the creative lines blur while
working,
and it excites you, you know you're on to something. Mistakes are part of
the
creative process and should be honored and noted, before moving on. Yours
will
be different from mine, so to tell you what to avoid would be preventing
your
potential in discovering something I missed. Keep track of the things that
work
as well as the things that don't to avoid repeating yourself and getting
discouraged -- That's probably the best advice I can offer.
In any case I hope you try it. The cost is a few cents in photochemicals
and
some film stock. When you start to get images you like, let me know. I'd
love
to see them.
Jon
