Huichica Pond

This is from a pinhole paper negative made during the recent MSA, wet contact printed onto homemade POP. The POP was made by soaking old FB paper in a weak solution of orchid fertilizer ( 20% KNO3 ) and lemon juice for 10 minutes. The print is 9 inches wide.

I tried to match the colors and got close, but the real print has more delicate salmon color and better contrast. This scan also hides the blotches which are a little worse than they look here, but still not too horrible.

Contact exposed for 5 minutes direct sun, then 2 hours under a single BLB fluorescent bulb.

I am to the point that I'm going to try this without any glass or contact frame, since I do not seem to be able to avoid blotches caused by the glass pressing on wet paper.

I was not planning to print this one, but TheToadMen's comments made me reconsider and I'm glad :)
