Fun With Lumen Prints (Luminograms)

I'm taking Experimental and Alternative Processes in Photography by Christina Z. Anderson. Our first assignment: luminograms.

So, basically, you take photosensitive paper, and cover bits and pieces with objects of different translucence and texture, you leave them out for extended periods of time in direct or indirect light and THEN, instead of developing them, you stick the pieces directly in fixer.

I looked like a mad scientist in my back yard :)
