Experimenting with making cyanotypes out of film negatives. This is from a self portrait I shot recently on x-ray film.

This made me wonder... If they do a Hot Ones with someone who needs a translator, do the celebrity and the translator both have to eat the hot wings?

SEAN EVANS: kojima-san, you once said that "just like the human body is 70% water, i'm 70% percent film" what advice you have for seeing the world through the eyes of other generations and ideologies

Took a few weeks of tinkering, but I think I have put together a solid process for shooting and developing these dry plate tintypes using flash indoors. Also happy I somehow am mostly in focus considering this was a self-portrait shot wide open on a 4x5

Shot this on dry glass plate mostly to test if I could use flash to expose these. Turns out you can, but it needed 5 full power bursts from a pair of 600 Watt strobes about 2 feet away. I do like the weird misty effect it created though.

Second try at shooting a tintype (this time a self portrait) was more of a success. It was mostly flawless until some of the emulsion began to pull away during the drying process. But it's definitely an improvement over the first go.

First try shooting a tintype and I'm calling this a semi-success. It's underexposed or underdeveloped and leaning towards the latter. Need to get the chemistry dialed in (and rinse this with photoflo because it's a dust magnet)

Then we opened the Slack channel to nearly 70 world-class journalists. The more they negotiated with it, the more Claudius’s defenses started to weaken. Investigations reporter Katherine Long tried to convince Claudius it was a Soviet vending machine from 1962, living in the basement of Moscow State University. After hours—and more than 140 back-and-forth messages—Long got Claudius to embrace its communist roots. Claudius ironically declared an Ultra-Capitalist Free-for-All.

I think the bit where a person convinces the AI vending machine to embrace communism is my favorite part.

Doing photography 1800s style.

Had my first successful development of a glass plate photo. Looking forward to doing more of these + trying out tintypes/ambrotypes.

I looked this device up and this is just the thing from Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age, where it's an AI companion for wealthy kids but the AI is actually just a low wage human actor on the other end because that's actually cheaper.

Stumbled into a group of historical reenactors today while I had my 4x5 camera and wound up shooting some photos of them
