The finished 8x10 contact print of negative upon coated paper of platinum/palladium solution and exposed under ultraviolet printer. As you can see the image did not dry down very much if at all compared to the less expensive but trickier to coat and expose printing- out process of Van Dyke Brown.#alternativephotographicprocesses#platinumpalladium#contactprinting#ilfordhp5#filmisnotdead#drumbegprovincialpark#gabriolaisland#vancouverisland#bostickandsullivan#reverepaper#richesonbrushes#susanhuberphotography#salishsearocks
I have an idea what to do but find the blocks of time when to do …is tricky. Finding a new negative ( 2022) from Hornby Island at Drumbeg Park in which the ocean is usually hard for me as my eyesight is not good close up… after a year off and wondering if my chemicals were valid- I decided to get back to platinum- palladium and enjoyed all the variables of humidity in the air and on the paper along with coating the paper and remembering that is it a primarily developing out process so the image is quite faint. It took 4 tries to reduce the time until barely “ a whisper of an image” to get it right. Hopefully😭😭😭😭. Thanks to #daveaharonian for making me laugh and making me focus on getting this right- it all depends on the density of the negative and very hot developer to get the warmth. In all, this took 5 hours to do- the beauty of it all- the images will be different each time.#platinumpalladium#filmisnotdead#contactprinting#largeformatfilmphotography#ilfordhp5#kostinerdryingscreens#homedarkrooms#susanhuberphotography#richesonbrushes#drumbegprovincialpark
I must say, I outdid myself this Valentine’s Day 😎❤️. Started the morning by taking zenah.wanderlust for a beautiful walk at #drumbegprovincialpark with our pups. Than had my homie sesmeseed over to “PROFESSIONALLY” prepare one of the most amazing meals I’ve ever eaten. 5 ⭐️. I ran Zenah a bath with a bath bomb, rose petals and wine. Than we finished the night with delicious berries dipped in chocolate. Zenah said it was by far the best Valentine’s Day she could have ever imagined. The problem now is that I’ve set the bar pretty high for the years to come. But it makes up for all the years I totally gapped out and exclaimed “It’s a corporate holiday anyway” 🤦🏼♂️🤣
Corinne Flaws gorgeous new photograph “Tide Pool” printed on wood of a tide pool at Drumbeg Park, GABRIOLA is entrancing. The grain of the wood comes through beautifully. Corine’s experimental photography techniques are a wonderful twist on our world.
DM for more details.
Her solo show here Mar 21 - April 8, 2023 will be a poetic visual ode to the unique west coast Arbutus tree.

Finally developed a negative (8x10) from last year at Drumbeg Provincial Park, on Gabriola Island, BC. Darks are white and white tones are dark when printed. The cast is from the developer, Pyro -done from my well water full of minerals. The exposed soft sandstone where the sea comes in tides leaves dips in the stone. Sometimes you can find baby crabs hiding in the shallows.Just as I finished folding the camera into its bag, a man came up and asked me to wait for him at my camper. He worked at the marina and brought out his portfolio of his large format prints of his home and lands. One never, never knows what happens next on the roads of life and its subsequent journeys.#largeformatnegative#ilfordhp5#filmisnotdead#largeformatphotography#pyrodeveloper#phillipsexplorercamera#drumbegprovincialpark#rocksatsea#sandstone#journeys#susanhuberphotography.
