With some of your photographs I feel like I can touch the details, flakes, ...

I would not have seen that as a subject for a photograph.

Pleasing to the eye! Bleached?

Pleasing to the eye! Bleached?

Kinda; 50D (and 2 Kentmere 100) bulk load scraps simultaneously treated with ECN-2 developer & copper sulfate bleach. Washed, bleach-bypassed, and fixed. Scanned as a color negative image with a black -> white substitution. I may try bleaching a few of the 50D chips to see if there's any dye under the silver.

The individual chips are interesting as chemigrams by themselves but arranging them allows you to add yet another layer of... abstraction

Woah, that's something I'd love to project if it makes funky colors/patterns!

 

[Bronson Dugnutt]

That particular stock isn't suited for projection as-is. You'd likely want to use an E-6 or ECP-2 stock without an integral orange mask. RA-4 & traditional silver gelatin paper is also commonly used in such pursuits, but not as a candidate for projection.

'Exposure' can be performed chemically on a completely fogged medium, as above, or perhaps in the darkroom with some combination with LEDs, combusting metal salts, or a carefully controlled prism. At some point I'd hesitate to call it a 'photograph' but its a fun tangent if you've already got the materials on hand.

Nice, @Stephen Benskin . Good play of light and darkness (and bird lime).
