Photogram

These are photograms. When printing typical pictures, you would slide your negative under a light that enlarges it. Then you'd put the special paper under and expose it for a few seconds, and then develop it. When you slide the paper in the developer, the photo appears.

When making a photogram, however, you just put random objects on the paper and then expose it. It sounds simple, but it's really not so much. There is an art to it. I don't really posses that talent, but here are some of my best. The top photogram was not entirely dipped into the developer. Instead, I took a cup and dumped some on certain parts to make a different effect.
