Flickr the Book
Image by jurvetson
I JUST LOVE THIS! …an archive of auto-sized flickr photos and captions, nicely printed and bound.
It is so much easier to skim a book than slog through the latency of a collection of web pages.
Here’s a link to the automated service from Qoop, Beta-launched today. (You can also see Stewart Butterfield’s book cover there =)

Haeckischer Hof Monster – Berlin
Image by jejoenjeM
Finally I manage to upload two ‘from the old box’ as they say.
I developed and printed this, in the darkroom, must have been around summer 2004.
I am ashamed to say that I cannot remember the film, but it was taken with a Minolta X-500.
Then I printed the image on water colour paper, coated with a liquid emulsion (it’s bizarre that not no-one has posted anything in this group yet!). I used the "Work" emulsion by Tetenal, then available in mail order in the Netherlands. This photo, and the one I uploaded with it, are my first and only experiments with this lovely, fantastic magic stuff. You can turn ANYTHING, literally anything, into photo paper, basically. Cloth, water colour paper, ceramics, etc. It’s brilliant.
The final fixed and dryed print was then scanned. Sorry I can’t remember which scanner I used.
Unfortunately I have not been able to invest enough in the darkroom stuff, time wise and money wise. So I’m currently mostly shooting digital.
But this, liquid emulsion, is why I want to get back to the darkroom!

Tyrannosaurus
Image by angus mcdiarmid
Dinosaur week comes to a close with the best etching of my dinosaur period: Sue, the Field Museum of Chicago’s tyrannosaur.
The fossil is the largest and most complete t-rex ever found; the etching is the largest and most complex dinosaur print I’ve ever done. Coincidence? I think not.
The print is sometimes available on Etsy.
