Monday Oct 15 was a lab day for my History of Photography Class (At New York Film Academy it's called "Ways of Seeing"). We went to the Brewery, the largest Artist's Colony in LA and maybe even the world, to do some Cyanotype Printing. At CMG Photography, a rental lab formerly known as Translight Color, we set up the darkroom and got busy makng prints. Cyanotypes are a simple Iron and water based photographic process invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842. The tones are rendered in beautiful shades of Prussian Blue, and they are simple and easy to make.
