Thank you for your encourgement !
Greatly appreciated.
A couple of months ago I was quite taken by the Alexander Den Heijer quotation that follows your posts ... It really got my attention.
It has inspired and energized me such that I am exploring new (to me) photographic arenas ... namely Harman Direct Positive printing and Albumen printing.
Working with Albumen has been stuck on my back burner for nearly a year. I will make my first prints next week.
These new areas of study are both challenging and exciting and I am having a blast!
I am now doing what "sparks me" in one way or another every day.
Thank you for sharing this quotation in your posts!

That's great, Drew. I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback.

In a similar vein:
(I'm not sure the number of mine, since I accidentally only shipped 19 and only found my 20th amongst my test shots a couple days later)
* Title: "Angel Wing Begonia".
* 11x14 Harman Direct Positive Paper.
* Developed in Caffenol for 4 minutes
* ISO 3, f/22 @ 1 minute 10 seconds.
* Homemade 11x14 w/Schneider 360mm.
Since this variety of begonia is red on the underside of the leaves, I thought it'd make for an interesting subject for this orthochromatic paper.
MAubrey you are #11 from 'The List.

The International packages are close to delivery.
Singapore may win this race, 2 members are in one box, #9 pound & #15 takpro.
I'm guessing #18 hendrik faure is also close, but who knows!
I have decided to follow Peter's good example, his print posting, by posting my print as soon as all packages are delivered.

It's hard to believe that our sluggish postal service would beat the German,but the parcel has arrived, from the outside seems fine. I'll open it later once I have a quieter moment (e.g. once the kids are fed and tucked in bed)
The box is here in Singapore yesterday but i wasnt home to receive it. I will go pick it up from the post office later this evening.
Can't wait to see the prints!

Andreios, it is true.It's hard to believe that our sluggish postal service would beat the German,but the parcel has arrived, from the outside seems fine. I'll open it later once I have a quieter moment (e.g. once the kids are fed and tucked in bed
Furthermore we live in a lost region of Germany (mostly a blessing), waiting for international sendings can be a challenge.
Nothing was announced up to now
I do understand the blessing of living in a sleepy corner, same as ours...
Anyway, the prints are excellent, such a variety of approaches... last night I spent over an hour going through them back and forth.
It has the main effects on me - to print more and finally start actually learning the photogravure process...
