Shots of reflections on mylar?

But they look like digitally created simulations of reflections.

My work has so far been pretty traditional, but here are some images by my friend Anne McDonald, which strike me as unusual both in content and process.

The first is from a series called "the body in transformation." She made them by essentially making a photogram of herself on mural paper, and then developing, toning, and bleaching each inch of the paper by hand with an assorment of witches brew chemicals from the darkroom, kitchen, and bathroom. Some of the work was done in the dark, and some in direct sunlight, to develop out and solarize portions of the image.

The second is from her "botanicals" series, which were made by placing objects both on the photo paper and on the negative carrier.

Anne's "body in transformation" work is the most beautifully analog work I've seen. She's exploring things that can ONLY be done with traditional materials ... in the same way that painters, after photography came along, started doing things that could only be done with paint.
