Paper negatives

[James R. Kyle]

Hello.
I have at home two boxes of ADOX MPC 310 paper that I am not using because I don’t positive my negatives, I scan all of them.
I have made one experiment:
- Cutting with red light at 4x5
- using directly in my graflex crown graphic (after some trials the sensibility is ISO 12)
- Developing as the harman DPP: multigrade 1+14 2.5’
- Scanning as positive/paper photo (the file is then a negative)
- Invert to positive using photoshop
Here is the result:

Really nice tonal quality to this image.

Hope it all turns around soon for you buddy. You're an inspiration to a lot of people.

My life is still on hold - nobody knows for how long..
No darkroom work or photography for a year...

But I am lucky (for now) to have a bundle of unfinished prints here, so I have spent some time finishing some of them - what I do when through them, I don't know... probably panicking.

Found this big portrait (75x107cm) and finished - quite satisfied with it...

Paper negative (13x18)

Emil, that hand colored print is amazing! Is the underlying image a platinum print or ?

no - it is a simple print using liquid emulsion on paper..

Thank you

Emil, it is good to see that you haven't given up under what must be extremely difficult circumstances.
Good luck,
Jim

Emil...I am so very captivated by this - those eyes...her eyes - just go on forever, both daring and inviting me into her gaze and what may lay beyond this. Magnifique!
