Slavich and Polywarmtone

The darkroom got a visitation today. William had bought me coffee in An Lanntair so he could get a chance to show me his crutches. Since I was suitably impressed, I left and returned home with the intention of sleeping. The night before had been long - and without much sleep. But the notion of sloshing some warm chemicals about in the dark got the better of me.

As it happens, I have been gifted some fine papers for Lithing - and I already had a couple around the place so I entered into the session with Slavich Unibrom and Forte Polywarmtone. Not that I started with this neg but I ended with it. I like it and that's what counts.

Butty Bus - Russian paper style

Slavich Unibrom is an interesting Russian cold tone paper and gives some fantastic rsults once you know how to use it. On that score I need more practice although the first print does have something about it. Although I'm not sure what! All the same, I  like it. But not as much as the print on Forte Polywarmtone - all sloshed in Rollei-Creative chems.

I love the idea - 'sit in or takeaway' on the bus. Both prints are great, very something or other......

That russian one...! It's just grand, both the picture itself, and the print. Nothing bad said about the last one tho, but the whole feeling and the charcoal style of the first one really is of another world
