One measurable outcome would be my skill and proficiency with the reversal-processing technique as I practice and perfect it for this project. By comparing the images I make in the beginning of the project as I’m learning the process, to what will end up being the final images used in this body of work. An ideal negative (or transparency positive) will have ample density in the blacks and grays of the image, and be mostly transparent in the highlights. 2: Once this series of images is completed, I will showcase them either at Gallery 122, where I have previously exhibited, or at the David Peterson Gallery for an extended period of time. At the opening reception I will give a short lecture on the specific technique used to make the photographs. I will also print a two page handout describing the process in detail for when I am not at the gallery to explain the nature of the work.
The artist learned two new photo processes that they will use heavily in future work. 2: The artist lectured to the Monticello Camera club about the tintype process, answering questions and providing resources.
