Images Blue


I’ve gotten into this groove lately of visiting the woods and just sitting down and being still, staring at trees, and then getting up and seeing what happens.  These prints are some of the fruits my labor of doing nothing. I made them using a process called the cyanotype, which is basically a blue dye with sensitizer in it that you can use to print on just about any surface using larger negatives. They are from my infinite work in progress on street kids and substance use, Golden Gate Park, and the incredible contrast within our city. These are some I've done so far. The working title is “Specimens.”
