10:40 Before using the large-format
camera i always take a few shots on
my medium-format one.

11:05 It is now time to change over
to my 10 x 8 inch camera.

11:10 I examine the image in the
viewfinder of the large-format camera

11:30 Having developed the negatives of several poses,

i hang them up to dry.

11:35 To sensitize the paper for cyanotype printing i brush

on a solution of ammonium ferric citrate and potassium

ferro cyanide.

11:50 The print is made by laying the negative on the

paper and exposing it to UV light.

12:05 It is then toned by rocking it gently in a bath of

lukewarm tannic acid.
