Image of the day is *Silicate skin*, an in-camera double exposure on film.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had tried last year to photograph rock patterns in similar double exposures, but the textures were just too faint. I tried again with Theia a few weeks back, exposing the texture more prominently, and the body less. I probably need to rebalance a tiny bit more towards the portrait, but I am quite pleased with the outcome.

Within the dusk, in the invisible of darkness, our primitive fears and core emptiness are revealed. Within the dusk, within the swish of the night, the endless surrounding and the pure fullness of being are enhanced. (2024).

Yesterday's image of the day was *Spread Silhouette*, an in-camera double exposure on film.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it comes down to it, I guess what I'm doing here is relying on the brain's ability to reconstruct an image from fragments. I honestly didn't think it would work with this branch of leaves spread so far apart, but I think it does.

Image of the day is *Leafy Slumber*, an in-camera double exposure on film.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the tricks of this leaf sub-project is to have the model adopt a pose that somehow fits into the shape of the leaf. While this one was shot standing, it looks like Louka is lying and sleeping, which I think fits the partial emergence of her figure perfectly. What do you think?

Image of the day is *Hidden Hand*, an in-camera double exposure on film.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My default process for Photosynthesis is to not know exactly what the texture image looks like. I like the synchronicity of parts of the texture falling on parts of the figure without it being planned. With this leaf approach though, that's simply not possible. I have to take a digital image of the leaf before hand so that the model and I know (roughly) where the leaf lay and how a pose might "fit". I wasn't too confident in this one working, but when the hand showed up in the right hand leaf I knew I had it.

Late last year, I ran a small project with a nonprofit in San Francisco. We gave out instant film cameras (color and black and white) to 5 people who were either unhoused or who lived nearby in one of the 'SROs'. We did a tiny, tiny exhibition.

I'm still working to figure out how to make this a more regular thing, and how to show their work, because they have such amazing stories to tell.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before this session, I wasn't sure that it was possible to get a convincing double exposure out of multiple leaves. They create a fragmented puzzle in which to "insert" the image, which makes the quasi blind shooting of the second exposure really tricky. Now that I see it works, I'm more inclined to try it again (previous attempts had not been very convincing).

The moon and stars must have aligned this year, as the spring wildflower display in Andalicia is stunning and prolific. I have enjoyed photographing and posting these beautiful flowers.

Wildflowers in Andalucia

Andalucia, Spain, boasts a diverse range of wildflowers and this year, the flowers have been exceptional because of the rain several weeks ago. See fifteen colour film photos of wildflowers in Andalucia…

Another framed darkroom print. This is my Springer Spaniel, Chester, who is sadly no longer with us. He was the best.

Now I have this wonderful print of him. This was one of the first photos I took with my Mamiya RB67.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One area that I am more and more intrigued by with this project is when parts of the body simply fade away into nothingness. It's hard to replicate, but it can be very powerful, as I think it is here. The question then becomes "how far can I go and still have a recognisable portrait..."

Image of the day is *Pointillism*, an in-camera double exposure on film.

There's something special about tiny leaf textures. While you can hardly distinguish the leaves themselves, they create a powerful pointillist effect, as if the painter Seurat had taken the photograph. While this image is very simple in concept, it's maybe the one that moves me the most from our session with Simon. I definitely intend to do an analog print of this one.
