Albumen #3

very nice I don't know how albumen is done but if you get a print like this in any media I would say you have done a outstanding job.

michael: take some egg whites - some salt and acetic (glacial) acid, and whip it..

let it stay in the frigde overnight and take away the white froth..

then you have the albumen.
coat a piece of paper with this - let it dry - Iron it (!) and do it again..

then you have the coated paper.
in the darkroom, you apply some silvernitrate, and then you make a contact copy in the sun.
rinse - fix and voila!

(this is NOT the recipie to follow. I've shortned it, bu tyou can read here: http://www.alternativephotography.com/process_albumen_paper.html )

I think my favorite "alt process" would be albumen
Albumen prints -the ones i've seen- just look special


Quite like the way you drape things ...and she has great hips

I think it's a nice expression on the model's face, it feels confident. I think the crop should include more of her thighs, however, but that's just me. Very nicely printed, regardless of process!
