Friday night – tin type

I took the day off from work because Gabe was off on vacation. It was such a great time. The day began down to Middleburry Vermont. It just checking out colleges and he felt it was good to check a college like Middlebury. It was beautiful and they had some great creative ideas it’s only drawback is it’s too close to us. Ha ha

We had a great time in the car on our way down and  back… It reminded me of what my dad always called “captive time”  in the car.
Once we were home, we had to start On gabes science project. He has to do a movie about the chemistry of photography..

I don’t want to steal gabes thunder, it was an awesome experiment.we Spread a chemical emulsion on black painted metal plates. We then loaded the plates and a 50-year-old Polaroid camera that my freind George had leant us.

We took a 10 second exposure. Then we developed the plates in a chemical bath. The results were pretty cool

It was very cool that such simple chemistry could produce results like this. they have great detail.

 

Gabe has to make a movie or process… When he does I will post it here. Again ,it is so cool to see what you can do with such simple chemistry.

After the photographs… Diane came home from New York. We miss her so much when she’s gone.

 

After having a quick dinner, Gabe and I headed to higher ground to hear Grammatik. It was an awesome, awesome show.
