#PhantomsFriday January-April 1861 A "Man in White," described as being 5'8" to 25' tall, wandered about in the dark in Cleveland, Ohio, terrifying its residents. Posses were formed; the ghost complained in a letter to the papers of being persecuted by armed gangs when it just wanted a quiet stroll.
A scowling figure in a sheet/cape and a tall pointed hat points a clawed hand at a cowering figure on the ground.

My first attempt at using “direct positive paper” with a pinhole camera. The sun was behind clouds and fog but it still managed to overexpose the rest of the photo. I took a light meter reading 🤪. I am looking forward to the challenge of figuring out the exposure times for this paper. #pinholecamera
A mostly black and white photo of a tree on the far left of the photo, you can see the texture of it’s bark. In the lower third of the photo are smaller trees and branches. Above these smaller trees everything is enveloped in a beige/tan cloudy/foggy sky.

A blurry black and white sepia-toned photo of a tree, in winter, with bare branches and off much farther in the background and downhill, a river with a bend in it and land on both sides. There are blurry vague images of buildings on the shoreline of the river.

Black and white, sepia-toned, photo from up high on a snowy hill. The perspective is from standing outside on some stairs with the railings and banisters visible on either side. The view below is of some trees and then much farther off and down the hill is a river with some buildings along the edge of the river and mostly trees behind the buildings along the river.

Baudelaire for the end of the year
XII GET DRUNK! One should always be drunk. That's all that matters; that's our one imperative need. So as not to feel Time's horrible burden that breaks your shoulders and bows you down, you must get drunk without ceasing. But what with? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose. But get drunk. And if, at some time, on the steps of a palace, in the green grass of a ditch, in the bleak solitude of your room, you are waking up when drunkenness has already abated, ask the wind, the wave, a star, the clock, all that which flees, all that which groans, all that which rolls, all that which sings, all that which speaks, ask them what time it is; and the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock will reply: 'It is time to get drunk! So that you may not be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk; get drunk, and never pause for rest! With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose!'

A black and white photo of many trees in a wooded area. It’s not very noticeable at first but there is a dark figure standing within the trees. It is me.

Ludington State Park Lighthouse
Pinhole camera photo on Fomatone MG Classic photographic paper

#pinholecamera #pinholephotograph #caffenol #ludingtonmi #ludingtonstatepark
A murky black and white photo of a lighthouse on a sandy beach. The perspective is off-kilter, bent. It’s a gray cloudy sky and the clouds look more like spots of mold on the photo.

Pinhole photos are new to me, but I'm impressed that I took these with a soda can AND developed the photo paper with basil, baking soda, and Emergen-C!

Observable Elements

#synthography #art #aiart #fineart #abstract #dada #surrealism
Observable Elements: - Primary dark mass: Central vertical formation with irregular edges - Secondary dark mass: Upper right quadrant, distinct boundary - Light masses: Dispersed clouded formations, variable density - White angular forms: Lower half, petal morphology, approximately 4-6 visible specimens - Textural grain: Uniform distribution across entire surface - Tonal gradation: Continuous spectrum from dense black to bright white Spatial Relationships: Dark and light masses interpenetrate without defined separation. White petal forms positioned in lower third. Clouded masses concentrate in left and upper portions, creating areas of medium gray tonality. Surface Quality: Granular throughout. Evidence of photographic emulsion. No discernible focal plane; all elements appear equally resolved within the printing medium.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
