These are some Cyanotypes I made using some shots I took of the old (circa 1860) two story Greek Revival style house I lived in for a few years as a kid. The house actually has some pretty interesting history, it was apparently a replica of the larger house on the Nicholas Carriger Estate. The house is no longer used and was actually moved (about 1/2 a mile I think) to sit at the entrance to the property in front of the main house that has been restored more recently. Here is a bit more info about the estate and its history for those interested.
In creating these images I first made large digital negatives that were printed onto transparency using an inkjet printer. Wanting to further distort/distress the images I decided to try and burn these large negatives and ended up with some pretty interesting results. The most difficult part was that once the transparency is bruned it crinkles up and does not want to lay flat, I had to crunch it down and use several clamps to hold a piece of plexiglass over it to make the cyanotype, fortunately I think this variation in the negatives contact with the cyanotype paper didn’t make too much of a difference and if anything added to the distorted look.

A few shots from my first time shooting with Cinestill 800t. I used my little Olympus XA point and shoot, and in hindsight I think maybe it would have been better to use my AE-1 because the XA is kinda hit or miss due to not being able to set the shutter speed. Got a few shots that I am happy with though and the lightleaks can sort of add to the aesthetic of the Cinestill look in some cases (like in the last 2 photos in this series), already bought another roll to try shooting with the AE-1. Shooting with cinestill in mind is interesting because you become much more aware of light sources that might produce an interesting halation effect. Even without the haloing effect that this film is known and celebrated for I find the color cast to be very nice.
