Sanders - as always, a beautiful image and excellent printing. I need to get back to my photography and printing - my daughter's wedding is finally over and I am ready to get back to doing photopolymer and some kallitype. Looks like you have been out in the woods this fall and I like the way you used the edge of your coating to set the frame.

It's almost like a moving image. When do the aliens appear.

Sanders, I really like the way you were able to create "almost" smooth/square edges, with a bit of unevenness. How did you coat the paper - rod or a brush? Did you use a guide of some type - I see what looks like a faint magenta edge around the coating, is that a line you put down as a guide? Or perhaps you just have a really steady hand. Regardless it is a great look for hand coated images.

Dave, thanks for the kind words. To answer your question: I put the negative on a light box, overlay the paper, and trace the negative field with a pencil onto the paper. Then I coat with a brush, taking care to stay inside the lines. I don’t worry about perfection, hence the suggestion of “unevenness.” I like it because it suggests a handmade process, and the edges make each print unique
