Just updated my online gallery with February’s new images. Pretty busy month overall, but not for photography. Managed to shoot a few rolls of 35mm, which I have yet to process, most likely in caffenol. I did get out for a walk in the post icefog glory one day and got some good stuff to post. 2 of which I’m particularly fond of. Can you guess which 2 they are?

January’s images are now posted to my gallery on Smugmug. January was another slow month photographically speaking but I’m getting lots done around the house. Most of what you see here is 35mm film photography, developed in a home made developer made of water, instant coffee, vitamin C and washing soda. Where you see sprocket holes these are a result of scanning the negatives wrong...

AlternativePhotography.com: Gum printing basics →
Remember how much fun you had as a kid doing “art”. Playing with brushes and paints. Making cool stuff with your hands. Well if you’re one of those lucky people who never grew out of that stage and if photographic based art is your medium then alternativephotography.com is probably where you hang out.

Method or mistake? Only the artist knows.
Following the last post and subsequent to posting some of my Caff-C experiments to Flickr it was suggested to me by another flickie that perhaps the sprocket marks on my images were a result of something that I was doing when scanning the negatives rather than anything actually on the negatives themselves. I had another, (and another, and another) look and just couldn’t see these marks on...

HC110, Caffenol, and IPA
Well, that was interesting. I’ve spent the evening souping 4x5 Tri-X 320 and 35mm Tri-X in HC-110 - Results pretty much as expected.
Then, in Cafenol, I steeped 2 rolls of old MAX400 C-41, a home rolled T-Max 400 and a roll of Ilford FP4.
The Ilford was an exposed roll that I found in a dresser and I’ve no idea what was on it - looks like I’ll never know. Heat / Light /...

December's images uploaded to peterhovestad.com
Well, December wasn’t the most productive month artistically speaking even though it was a fairly busy month photographically speaking. Assuming a volunteer position as photographer for the Prince George Symphony Orchestra as they enter their 40th year I had several events to document on their behalf. With thousands of images to sort through for keepers and tweak then post for the...
DVD Review: What Remains | photography24seven.com →
Great review of a great film. This sometimes shows up on television, usually on the Knowledge Network, and is well worth watching whether you catch it on TV or buy the DVD. I’ve watched my recording from a TV broadcast several times now and I have the DVD in my Amazon shopping cart now, knowing there’s additional features there to see.
