Looks like infrared photography bit but isn't
Splattered water marks add a textural feel to photograph looks like it alive.

Negative contact of paper print
Looks like a painting, there’s a textural feel to it,
You want to touch the paper.

The emulsion failing away,
4 Days in water.
I wonder how long it can
Stay in water before there is nothing

This was printed on AGFA multi contrast black and white paper (fibre based) variable contrast and toned with lith chemicals and then left in water for 4 days and the white spots are caused by the emulsion coming away.
This less than perfect print looks like a memory part of the image that exists in our head is there; the rest fades or is less obvious to work out.
My first contact sheet
This is my first contact sheet, for my personal project taken using a wooden medium format pinhole camera I brought on Ebay a couple year ago,it's been left in water too long and emulsion started to come away.
Hidden Haikus
Inspired by the poetry of Basho Matsuo, I realised that this detachment from life allowed him to examine his world more clearly in the spirit of Sabi-Wabi.
To see the world from an opening in a bush or from under a tree is to imagine all the multiple possibilities that exist in front of our eyes, the world only becomes a small place because we look and no longer see.
I have been exploring the Prints of Ando Hiroshige and Hokusai, drawn to the alternative approach they offer to western composition ideals, I have been exploring the idea of combining negative space with positive space, in the series Space 2006, f the “Negative space” is left black instead of the traditional white, and forms an active part of the composition of the photograph.
This work at present is newly form, it’s too early to say whether it will be a series of photographs, Video or animation with sound, the only thing for certain after the first contact sheet I can’t wait till I get the next, the only problem is that it take so long to create pinhole photographs the way I see them inside my head, so I keep trying to get there until I’m having a wonderful time.
Just short on paper, film and time but apart from I get excited when I imagine how the photographs might turn out.
