Cyanotypes are made on watercolor paper using a chemical process that when exposed to UV rays, from artificial light or from the sun, turns the areas exposed through a transparency into a blue colored print. 

These cyanotypes originated from 4″x”5 negatives taken with a large format Sinar bellows camera.  The camera lens was a board with two very small pinholes offset in a way to produce a double image.

The developed film was then scanned into a computer and enlarged to the size of the print, – approximately15″ x  19″,  and printed onto transparency film to produce a new digital negative.
