For the past year, I have been collecting river rocks, printing a cyanotype on them and then returing them for others to find.

Anamorphic Pinhole
A new group of anamorphic pinole photographs that I shot over the summer. I printed them as cyanotypes and toned them using green tea.
Cyanotype on Stone
Have been experimenting with printing cyanotype on stones. Two coats of cyanotype solution and a 13 minute exposure using a digital negative seems to be working well.
Cyanotypes on the Beach
I took some cyanotype coated paper to the beach and made photograms using found objects. The images were developed in the lake water and dried hanging in the trees.
Winter Trees
One of the unexpected benefits of the current situation is I now have the time to go through my archives. I discovered these zone plate images that I took 10 years ago and printed them as cyanotypes this week
Wet Cyanotype
In this body of work I use a modified cyanotype process to create photograms of botanical material. The process incorporates added heat,moisture, and a very long exposure.
The plant material is sandwiched between the damp cyanotype coated paper and a sheet of glass and placed inside an insulated box in the sun for hours or days. This miniature greenhouse causes the cyanotype chemistry to breakdown and interact with the plant material, to produce colour shifts and patterns which are unpredictable, magical and create an alternative impression of nature.
