Bleak- "...and I am gone from this place. Returned to the thoughts my children will never know."
Taken in Idaho the end of January. I have always enjoyed antiquarian processes. These were treated as albumen contact prints. A once commercially available printing paper often combined with collodion negatives. The substrate is a thin stationary coated with egg white and silver nitrate. There are commonly inconsistencies in the finish due to bubbles and the technique of floating the paper. The color ranges from a red chocolate to a cool monochrome. This of course also depends on any toning done after the initial processing. For more information check out this site.
