and then there were photos. i dug out some photos from a box of black and white proof prints i made while still in University. these are images of my nieces, Brittani and Bianca (Bianca is the one with the dark hair). Bianca is mistaken for my sister a lot.
i have been wanting to use these for a while, and they make good bases for drawing on. i glued and/or taped them in to various spreads. if you look below, to the green spread, you will see some drawing on the photo with gel pen. they work pretty well for that.
don't ask about th egg thing. i'm not sure what's going on there...
Bianca (pictured above) was a more reluctant model than her sister, but quietly so. i only have a few photos of her. these are proofs, which means the printing isn't the best, and i don't really feel weird drawing over them. also, they're 'outtakes' from our shoots.
if you've never photographed in a public laundry, you should try it sometime. the graphic qualities of the dryers alone...
here i've put some color proof prints in with a spread of color maralena did, and a black and white image on the opposite page. it's going to take a few layers to connect these bits. the color images are from 2001. i never used the images because of a lens flare (it was an old TLR on a sunny way without a hood), and there was something wrong with the winding mechanism, so all the frames overlapped a little. annoying! (i don't crop... i print full frame, so that was a problem for me.)
it's leaning a little to the scrapbooky side here, isn't it? weeeell. we'll just see how it turns out, shall we?
