The 6th Annual Barrydale Analogue Photo Festival is on from 12 - 20th December in the Western Cape. I'm showing some work printed using the cyanotype, Van Dyke brown, and salted paper processes and will be speaking at 2pm on Saturday 13th.

It's not an easy read and sometimes extraordinarily frustrating. Hard to keep track of all the players, and often annoying that there aren't more illustrations of Caravaggio's works as Robb's descriptions are so evocative.

Commissioned work in situ with repurposed timber bespoke frames. Totes fab.

Years to take the various images, months to select and edit, many weeks of making negatives and testing, and finally, about two weeks to make the prints, apply Renaissance Wax and buff each one.

I laughed with absolute joy when I saw them all together for the first time.

The learning curve from Canon to Fujifilm OS gobbled up the day.

Dennis da Silva at the Alternative Print Workshop here in Johannesburg very kindly gave me a sheet of Hahnemühle Platinum Rag to test. It's made for alt process printing, so unsurprisingly it performs beautifully.

Ebook not available in South Africa. Nope.

Will try using a VPN. Honestly, this is a bullshit move by publishers about royalties and licensing. Speaking as a former musician it's precisely where the music industry failed so badly at an international level thirty years ago.

Van Dyke Brown print. Hand-printed, about one hour to make each print excluding taking the photo, editing it, making the negative and so on.
