Mastering Photo » Jill Enfield’s Guide to Photographic Alternative Processes – Lumen Prints Lumen prints are made by taking sheets of unexposed black-and-white photo paper and placing objects or negatives on top as if you were going to make a photogram, but instead of using an enlarger you take the paper out into the sun. The results will vary due to exposure times, density of photogram or negative, quality of light and, most importantly, the type of paper. Each paper will have a different color, depending on whether it was old or new, fiber or resin, and the manufacturer. According to an article by Jerry Burchfield (on www.freestylebiz.com), exposures can vary from half an hour to days and sometimes even months. © Barbara Dombach.

A few things you shouldn't say to a childless woman Not all women can have babies or want to have babies. Photo: Kylie Pickett There are two words for the woman who reached over the table, grabbed my hand and in a consolatory tone announced, ''It's a tragedy you never got around to having children. It's the most wonderful thing a woman can do.'' Those words are ''shut'' and ''up'' (the printable response) or, more charitably, ''think'' and ''first''. Because it doesn't take Freud to work out this statement was patronising, assumptive and just plain insensitive. The would-be Buddhist in me told me these were her issues. But I still wanted to thump her. Advertisement Most of the childless women I know do find peace with their circumstances, even if it takes some time. I believe children are a gift and not a given in life, and those who receive should be grateful. A guised compliment does not a sympathetic or empathetic person make. A friend of mine who is a well-known celebrity understands this.
How to Lith Print Black & White Negatives In Lith Printing black and white negatives are over exposed (usually by two or three stops) onto conventional black and white paper. The paper is then developed in a highly diluted lithographic A/B developer. The result is a print that nearly jumps off the page because the developer increases the edge-sharpness (or accutance) in the higher contrast areas of the print. Lith prints are also usually warm-toned ranging widely from caramel to burnt-ochre. Grade 3 papers lend themselves well to Lith Printing, as do papers with higher than average silver content. In application, this technique is exciting for students because it breaks most of the rules of traditional photo processing and forces them to make quick, nearly instinctive choices. These interpretive protocols realign the mind to focus on visual aesthetics. The best thing about it is that each print is a unique piece of art that is difficult to duplicate. Also, we recommend Moersch SE5 Master Lith Printing Paper Developer Kit.
Six degrees of separation Six degrees of separation. Early conceptions[edit] Shrinking world[edit] Theories on optimal design of cities, city traffic flows, neighborhoods and demographics were in vogue after World War I. As a result of this hypothesis, Karinthy's characters believed that any two individuals could be connected through at most five acquaintances. A fascinating game grew out of this discussion. This idea both directly and indirectly influenced a great deal of early thought on social networks. Small world[edit] Michael Gurevich conducted seminal work in his empirical study of the structure of social networks in his 1961 Massachusetts Institute of Technology PhD dissertation under Ithiel de Sola Pool.[4] Mathematician Manfred Kochen, an Austrian who had been involved in urban design, extrapolated these empirical results in a mathematical manuscript, Contacts and Influences,[5] concluding that in a U.S. Continued research: Small World Project[edit] Research[edit] Computer networks[edit] Find Satoshi[edit]
Cyanotype – the classic process « Cyanotypes Writer / Malin Fabbri and Gary FabbriPhotography / Malin Fabbri Cyanotype process – a modified extract from the book Blueprint to cyanotypes describing the classic or traditional cyanotype process. Always be careful when handling chemicals. Read the health and safety instructions. Unlike photographs set in silver, like in black and white photography, cyanotypes are using a solution of iron compounds. The photograph can be taken with a camera, like a digital camera, and the resulting photo turned into a negative that can be used to make a cyanotype. The basic cyanotype recipe has not changed very much since Sir John Herschel introduced it in 1842. The cyanotype process at a glance The cyanotype process is simple. Mixing chemicalsThe cyanotype is made up of two simple solutions. Potassium ferricyanide and Ferric ammonium citrate (green) are mixed with water separately.The two solutions are then blended together in equal parts.

Egalitarianism 1. Preliminary Distinctions Egalitarianism is a contested concept in social and political thought. One might care about human equality in many ways, for many reasons. As currently used, the label “egalitarian” does not necessarily indicate that the doctrine so called holds that it is desirable that people's condition be made the same in any respect or that people ought to be treated the same in any respect. Egalitarianism can be instrumental or non-instrumental. Equality of any sort might be valued conditionally or unconditionally. Equality might be deemed to be desirable or undesirable. For those who regard equality as a requirement of justice, the question arises, whether this is a timeless unchanging or instead a variable requirement. Egalitarianism can be formulated with a variety of roles in mind. Given some specification of the kind of equality that is under consideration, it is clear what it means to say of a number of people that they are equal in the stated respect. 2. 3. 4.
Salt prints and cyanotypes: a short history of printing processes « Cyanotypes Writer and photography / Brian Young Brian Young tells the fascinating story of salt prints and cyanotypes – photographic printing processes from the 19th Century. “Iron Bridge, Chiang Mai” by Brian Young. Salt print and cyanotype compared. With numerous websites, workshops and exhibitions inviting us to enjoy alternative prints and learn how to make them, non-digital photographic processes, such as salt prints, cyanotypes, van Dyke, albumen and platinum/palladium prints are claiming an increasing number of followers. Why am I interested in printing without an inkjet? Are they outdated? There have been numerous arguments about “nostalgic and sentimental” alternative prints, whether they compete with digital and automatically position themselves as more “artistic”. Since the early years of the 19th Century the development of the camera has proceeded alongside the understanding of how certain materials react to light and how they can be used to capture and retain an image.

Egalitarianism | Theopedia Egalitarianism, within Christianity, is a movement based on the theological view that not only are all people equal before God in their personhood, but there are no gender-based limitations of what functions or roles each can fulfill in the home, the church, and the society. It is sometimes referred to as biblical equality. Egalitarians understand the Bible as teaching the fundamental equality of women and men of all racial and ethnic groups, all economic classes, and all age groups, based on the teachings and example of Jesus Christ. It should not be confused with secular political, economic, social egalitarianism. Among evangelicals, particularly in the last few decades, two rather different paradigms concerning roles of men and women presented in Scripture have emerged. Multimedia Etymology The term Egalitarian is derived from the French word égal, meaning "equal." The Egalitarian position The Egalitarian position is usually characterized by: Roles in marriage Roles in the Church History
Lith Printing Lith Printing... An Introduction By Tim Rudman Lith printing is not a new process, but it did fall out of favour when Kodak withdrew their beautiful Lith paper ‘Kodalith LP’ about twenty years ago. Now, Lith printing’s star is in the ascendancy once again and this time rising higher than ever before. What is Lith Printing? Before considering what Lith printing is, it may be helpful first of all to state what it isn’t, as this often gives rise to confusion. Lith printing is a simple but ‘different’ Black & White printing technique, using ‘ordinary’ B&W or colour negatives, a suitable black & white paper and Lith developer – from which the process gets its name. This process has often been shrouded in mystery and described as ‘unduplicatable’ with no two prints ever looking similar. This is a very creative printing process and the results are unlike conventional black and white printing in several respects. Lith prints also tone very enthusiastically, particularly in selenium and in gold.
Egalitarianism Egalitarianism is a moral principle. It is the belief that all people should be equal. This does not amount to an ethical system, though. Examples of egalitarianism are widespread. Egalitarianism comes in many forms, all of which are destructive. Egalitarianism is just a mask for the hatred of the good. The Crafted Photograph - Adam Fuss Background The photographer Adam Fuss is best known for arresting, brilliant colored photograms that break habits of seeing. His work investigates the elements of life and the basic materials of photography. Part of the appeal of the photogram for Fuss is its directness. Fuss was attracted to photography at school in England in the 1970s and his first photogram was the result of an accident.
Negativity Can Ruin Relationships Read: What you lose when you gain a spouse But suppose you’ve managed to survive your courtship without any problems. (This may take more imagination.) You’ve just graduated from dating to blissful matrimony. Your soul soars, your heart sings, and your brain is awash in oxytocin, dopamine, and other neurochemicals associated with love. You are probably in no mood to participate in a scientific study, but some other newlyweds were persuaded to do so for a long‑term project called PAIR. Some of the people were already ambivalent or hostile toward their partners—and tended to get divorced quickly—but most couples showed lots of mutual affection and went on to celebrate several anniversaries. Some couples, of course, are better off splitting up, but far too many of them sabotage a relationship that could have worked. In fact, though, the questionnaires were different.
