Angels - emulsion lift

[Jazz]

One thing I like about transfers and lifts is the feeling of accomplishment when I get a recognizable image, as opposed to a pile of goo on expensive paper. So much work goes into them that I think I tend to stand a little taller than I should when showing them. After all, they're cracked, too contrasty and distorted. Can't help it, still think they're cool to look at and fun to do. Here's a couple of NY Angels.

Great stuff. I love the concept of #1.

Your assessment of them up there explains it all, doesn't it? I remember posting one on this forum that I'd worked very hard to craft, and someone commented: "Oh. Looks like she tore it." How to answer this....??

Anyway.

These are great! (yep, cracks and all!) Love the attitude and pose of the model in #1. :thumbup:

Matt - I'm fascinated by imagery, and am always looking for a fix. Just checked out your site and it was a feast. Well seen, well done. Way cool. And thanks.

Terri - What's your problem? Didn't you ever learn to play by the rules? All photos must be square, in focus and well lit with the subject centered. Torn photos indeed!

For comparison, this was the original shot that day as a b&w Hassie neg. At the end I shot some slides for transfers etc.

Why do we take a perfectly normal photo and turn it into a lift? I dunno. Why not?

Thanks Jazz. Many kudos to you as well. Btw, are you a musician? I've been a jazz lover and musician for hrm, lets see, 16 years now.

Sorry, but my photo in the last post is not showing up. I'll check.

Matt - Nope, I wish. I'm just listening to a lot of jazz the last few years and loving it. I think it changes my cells on a biological level. Some of it does, anyway.

Please do, all I see is the deadly red X on the second image!

Rules.....!? In photography....? So THAT'S what I've been missing all this time! :idea:








I like this image just fine as a B&W, but I think it moved to another level once it "went Polaroid". Thanks for sharing it!

neat! I've done a few lifts and Akkkk! what a chore. I like gum for the same reason...the challenge.

I'm a digital junkie...but i'm also a photo enthusiast

Both of these images are beautiful! Like the others, I especially like the first :thumbup:
