Thanks Vaughn, don’t stare at it too long, you might have a bad trip or go cross eyed.Whoa, Bryan! That does a weird trip to my eyes/brain! A 3D effect with both eyes open, less with just one open. Cool.

Thank you. The way I print carbons is sort of like silver gelatin prints on steroids. Carbon printing, patented in 1864, is a UV-sensitive process using gelatin, pigment (often carbon) and dichromate to form the image. The image is actually made of different thicknesses of exposed gelatin -- the blacks are made of a thicker layer of pigmented gelatin than the highlights. Thus it is possible to get prints that have a raised relief. Pretty cool. A highly controllable and permanent process. Of course, being highly controllable means that it can also easily go out of control!...I also need to understand something about the carbon printing.

Love both the picture and the story Eric.![]()
And feeling a bit creative I wrote a very short story about the life of the little stump. I have no illusions about my future as an author, but enjoyed the exercise.
I think it may be my southern heritage that makes me want to "spin a yarn" (tell a story which has some elements of truth but is otherwise fictional) .
