Zone Plate Photo: Bodie the Dog
May 29th, 2008 by laura | Filed under Laura Campbell Fine Art.Here we are with a zone plate photo of Bodie, my sweet 6-year-old. In this photo, he’s catching up on his beauty rest. He’s only pretending to be awake. Yesterday he got a bath and today he sat down in blue paint. I upgraded to a new scanner in preparation for making more digital negatives for handcoating. It just arrived today and initial testing shows much better results than my old scanner. I’m waiting on a new batch of chemicals for handcoating cyanotypes. I’m starting with Dr. Mike Ware’s New Cyanotype process, using Dektol to bleach, and tannic acid to tone the print. I’m looking forward to experimenting with this process in the coming days.


awww this is so sweet! i love it! it helps that he’s napping!
