Anyone want some leftover supplies for building a lightbox?

I have some random leftover supplies from building my lightbox that I am wanting to be rid of soon. I am tired of it taking up space. I have like half a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood, a small can of white paint, screws, nails, etcetera. Any takers? It might save you a couple of bucks, and if your lightbox is going to be small than you already have enough wood!

Apparently I love double exposing film

I figured since I wasn't going anywhere for spring break, I would just process film from last spring break, and other various excursions. Some accidental double exposures, thought they were kind of fun.

Vancouver

Hope everyone is enjoying their Spring Break. Just thought I'd share a few images I've taken while up in Vancouver for a few days.

Holter Art Museum

If you're headed up to the Holter to see Marta's show, make sure you also take the time to look at the work by Marie Watt on display.  She is a great person who makes striking work.

some picture takins

i experimented with shooting a roll of 35 mm in my holga last week. I really love how the sprocket holes are incorporated in the image. unfortunately the piece of black tape i thought was light tight actually allowed light through the window on the back of the holga and thus came to be the red streaks... but i dont mind them too much..

Finally!

After a year of gathering materials and actual construction, I finally finished my light box capable of printing 16x20 prints. Instead of writing the 3 papers i have due tomorrow and the one i had due yesterday i decided to finally finish the wiring on this bastard. Thank you procrastination(the art of keeping up with yesterday) and hello progress. We should totally have some printing parties this summer! Just for your information, this cost me $400 for materials and lots of troubleshooting and headaches. If i can appease anyone else who is interested in building one I would be happy to divulge some info to make it easier on them.

Awkward Stock Photos

This is probably the greatest photography related blog I have ever stumbled upon. I just laughed my head off for ten minutes. If anyone tells you your photo doesn't make sense, just sell it for stock... www.awkwardstockphotos.com

Scanning Issues

Has anyone ever distressed color negatives? I am doing so for the first time and whenever I try to scan I get a cyanotype-like color cast that I can't get rid of. Assignment is due tomorrow and if I can't scan...I can't print. Help! Any suggestions?

Congrats to Stephanie

At SPE this weekend Stephanie sold her first gum print to Colorado University at Boulder for their collection.

ATTACK OF THE CHECKOUT MONSTER!

Done with lye and black calligrapher's ink. You might have to click on the first one, somehow using toxic chemicals gave me my most subtle manipulation yet.

combat witness

the most recent diptychs . next time Ill have an example of text with an image...Im not sure how I want to do that yet though...Ive been having thoughts about separating the images and having the text between them or something...or should I not stray from the diptych theme at all?
