Megorokiteni - To Make It Last Forever















This is a sneak preview of a project I am working on for my alternative photography class. The assignment is "Megorokiteni" which is the Russian word for photograph. The literal translation is "to make last forever." So, for my project I am learning more about my Grandpa Northrup and photographing things that represent them. The end result will be a book containing photographs and words people have written about my grandpa. So, this is just a few of the images I have taken so far.

The process I am using to print these is called Van Dyke Brown. I'll create digital negatives of each image and then do a contact print onto Bristol paper coated with a sensitizer. The images are then exposed to UV light, rinsed with water and fixed. The result is an antique brown colored image. I think it will help enhance the idea of these images being memories.

New Photos

These are some photos I have done recently. The dresses and birdhouses were made by my friend Rachel. She will be selling them on Etsy soon, so if you are interested, let me know. The others are some I took at Sundance and the surrounding area while working on my "Sit" assignment.

School Projects

Here are a couple projects I've done thus far this semester. The first is a poster promoting one of the 31 human rights declared by Amnesty International. The second is a photo montage for my Photoshop class.
