Description

On a beautiful winters day we drove out into the country, down a long and windy dirt road to a little farm. The farm was filled with different kinds of birds. We watched the homing pigeons fly, the turkeys strut, the mix of beautiful chickens and the guinea fowl with their distinctive sound. I picked up a few feathers, which have always been to me a sign of luck, a sign that I'm on my right path, and took them home to immortalize in this cyanotype process. Sealing in the memories and the feelings of the day in an image. The cyanotype process was developed by Sir John Herschel in 1842. It is a photographic printing process that produces cyan-blue prints. You prepare the surface you are printing on with a mixture of potassium ferricyanide and ferric ammonium citrate. When exposed to UV light (like sunlight), a chemical reaction occurs, resulting in a cyan-blue image. After exposure, the print is rinsed in water to develop the image and you are left with an unpredictable and beautiful image in cyan blue.
