Chemistry of Paint & Pigments

[Mercedes Benzene]

How are those prints holding up? Have you noticed any change in color or intensity? I recall reading that if they lighten, putting them in the dark brings them back. Looking at the pinhole shot here again for the first time, it has a very haunty Currier & Ives-esque feel. If the Potomic freezes over this year, by all means get a pinhole shot of that.

Unfortunately, that shot has turned completely blue!
I tried the "putting them in the dark" approach, but it hasn't worked, so I guess I'm stuck with just a dark blue piece of paper.
Oh well. I'm hoping to try out a few more shots this winter (whenever I get some free time ---- which isn't something I have very much of these days).

As for the Potomac, I will certainly try, but it doesn't freeze over all that often.

Well, maybe try the opposite & put it in a sunny spot? Maybe the image will reemerge? At least you got a scan of it. It's very haunting and has a Currier & Ive's-esque quality I find appealing. Here's wishing for a white Christmas! Santa always knows when you've been bahahaaaahd.

I will certainly try a sunny spot tomorrow.
And I hope you have a wonderful holiday yourself!
