A few Van Dykes
I make alternative process prints.
I mix all my own sensitizers based on 19th century formulas and hand coat my own papers. Here are a few that I'm posting just to post. Hope y'all enjoy them.     |

I'm not familiar with the process but like the results. Are you just using any paper you chose then coating it cheically to make it photo paper?

That's basically it in a nut shell. I then take the treated paper and sandwich it and a contact negative (the negative is the same size as the final print and it just lays on top the paper) between heavy sheets of glass. I then expose the print with sunlight; the chemicals are very slow compared to modern photo papers. And they are developed similar to the way one would a normal B&W print. |

Allen, that's awesome!
My hat's off and I'll take a deep bow behind it to you old-school guys, it's great to see these processes kept alive.
Really nice shots, I'd love to have a print of the first one. Let me know how we can get in touch. Thanks for posting these, Bill
