“Oracle Anima” — Pretty sure this is my top image from 2024. This is an 8x10” hand coated cyanotype on Arches Aquarelle hot press paper with hand-applied 24k gold leaf. #cyanotype #altprocess #photography #altphoto

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

“Self-Portrait with Camera” — Hand-Coated Cyanotype. This is my camera Minerva: She’s 122 years young, and she has seen some shit. She’s currently partnered with a slutty Russian lens she rescued from the gutter — an Industar-37. #cyanotype

I’m considering a 4800 WS power supply and two 2400 WS lights and modifiers for studio wet plate work. A new Speedotron 4803cx is ruinously expensive, but I feel like folks are always needing to repair used lighting equipment. Tips on avoiding crap used lighting grass would be appreciated! #wetplate

Sometimes, my wet plates just get fucked up. And, sometimes, those fuck ups look cool. Embrace serendipity!

So, I’m primarily a photographer of nudes. My work ranges in eroticism from “That’d be ok in some churches.” to “Larry Flynt is blushing!”
But I also love playing with lumen printing and photographing fungi, bats, and native California wildflowers. #photography

So, I shoot a lot of “Trichromie” (trichromatic false color positives.) The theory is simple: take three separate b&w exposures each filtered through a red, blue, or green filter. Those are your R, G, and B channels, which can be combined into a false color positive. See the attached images!

@benrains.bsky.social Thanks for liking one of my photos! I’ve been a fan of yours for a very long time from either the LFPF or APUG.

“The Ecstasy of St. Theresa” — this is absolutely erotic, but I’m proud of it as art. So glad to be able to share this publicly … screw you, Meta.
Model: Amelie Belain (ameliebelain.bsky.social).
Not that it matters, but I was shooting a Fujifilm X-T5 with the excellent Fujinon 50mm f/1.0 here.

Amelie Belain (@ameliebelain.bsky.social) on wet plate collodion. There was no way I could share the plate on the left on Instagram or Threads, and even the plate on the right got dinged for “sexual activity”. #wetplate #photography

“Anima & Imago” — here’s a wet plate I was unable to share on IG/FB.
I also thought this would be a good test of Bluesky’s labels — this is “nudity” (artistic or non-erotic nudity). I mean, it’s both artistic and erotic?
