I shot this negative on Friday and unbeknown to me the family appearing in the lower right- hand corner appeared in the frame. The older mother is taking a point-n-shot apparently of the duck while the younger mother and infant look on. I like the addition!

I agree; the family in the corner adds to the composition. I like it.

Claudio, I agree with David. I just spent an hour looking at your work on your Flicker site -- Wonderful!

First attempt with Nicole's Kallitype II Process using Ammonium Citrate and Sodium Acetate as a developer. There is a slight unevenness of the sensitizers which is visible on the left hand side which may be due a result of using a new brush and/or minimal sensitizer. I counted 30 drops each of sensitizers A & B into a small (50mL) beaker which I swirled around before pouring into a plastic salsa condiment cup that I requisitioned from a local El Polo Loco Restaurant for dampening the hake brush.

Exposing to the sun until a "whisper" of a print appeared (2.5 minutes), I poured wholesale the developer onto the print from a 1 liter beaker that came with my Corning laboratory warming plate and was amazed - no shocked - by the instantaneous appearance of a visually fully developed print in the tray! Truly a spectacle to behold.

for dampening the hake brush.

Why don't you use a magic brush? It will produce very smooth coatings.

I made a large bromoil print of Kala.

Sketchy on purpose.

Very nice. The brush strokes below her shoulders are just right. They almost look like wings.
