Exploring light, shadow, and memory — a double exposure that blends past and present. A quiet moment in a forgotten place.

#DoubleExposure #Photography #Art #MoodyFrames #BlackAndWhite #CreativeProcess #PhotoArt #LadysmithCameraClub
Soft black-and-white double exposure of two people walking hand-in-hand through an abandoned, decaying building. Sunbeams pour through tall arched windows, blending with textures of peeling walls, empty benches, and scattered leaves. The layered effect makes the scene feel dreamlike and surreal.

A quiet moment in the woods: backlit mushroom, oak leaf, and a little fall atmosphere. Natural light can feel otherworldly sometimes.

“A small translucent mushroom glows softly in the darkness, its stem arched as it rises from a brown fallen oak leaf. The background is completely black, making the mushroom’s illuminated cap stand out like a tiny lantern.”

Time parked here long ago.
Rust, rain, and autumn whisper stories
only the forest remembers.

A weathered red Chevrolet rests among trees, covered in fallen leaves. The background is blurred in black and white, drawing focus to the car’s faded color and gentle decay.

Gas station at the roundabout in Ladysmith — One Stop store with fuel pumps and an Arctic Glacier cooler out front. Everyday roadside life on Vancouver Island.

Made with sunlight and turmeric, this print reflects the tradition of love locks—padlocks placed on fences to symbolize unbreakable love. Like anthotypes, the gesture is fleeting yet powerful, a moment of devotion captured in time.

"7-Eleven store in Ladysmith, captured in an anthotype and processed with sodium hydroxide. The image carries a hand-drawn, vintage sketch aesthetic, blending photography and chemistry into a unique view of a familiar place."

Like memory etched in sunlight—this vintage car interior was captured as an anthotype. Processed with sodium hydroxide and 6 hours of exposure, leaving a raw, historic texture.

Anthotype of Robert’s Pizza in Ladysmith, exposed for 2 hours in the sun with turmeric and alcohol. Developed with sodium hydroxide and finished in Procreate. Part of my Classic Building Series.
Hand-tinted image of Robert’s Pizza in Ladysmith, BC. A classic wooden building with a front porch sits on a slight hill. A pink-blossomed tree blooms in front, framed by tall evergreens and street lamps. The style has a sketch-like, vintage quality with subtle colors.

Anthotype of a Duncan church, exposed for 3 hours in the sun, developed with sodium hydroxide, and finished with digital paint in Procreate. The piece blends sunlight, chemistry, and art to highlight the striking blue doors.

This began as an anthotype, a camera-less photo made with natural pigments. After three hours in sunlight, shadows etched into color. I coaxed out hidden tones with sodium hydroxide, then brushed in life and detail using digital paint in Procreate.
