Today in Hip Hop History:

Looks like a pile of crap, huh? Well.. actually I think this looks pretty dang good. I took this shot for a project that I'm still waiting for the main folks to get a move on with.

What is it? Well, it's a photo of a phonebooth shot on medium format film, developed in caffenol and then printed on turmeric anthotype paper. It may be the only anthotype of a phonebooth to exist. I mixed the anthotype emulsion after a few weeks of testing. It took 9 days for the sun to burn the image into the paper properly. Then I digitally reversed it and turned it to black and white. I learned a lot about the process in the meantime. I'm not gonna both with anthotypes here in the winter... but come next summer, I'm gonna make some more.
