I’ve not blogged much the last couple of months. Lack of motivation I guess. I’ve been re-assessing my working practice and direction, lets just call it a dry spell in wet plate.<\/p>\n

A recent post by Borut Peterlin<\/a>, an amazing photographer with a great blog, reminded me of a handful of over-painted prints I’ve collected of late along with one or two cabinet cards and photographic prints, and realised I’d not shown them here.<\/p>\n

So here you go…<\/p>\n

A large over painted photograph via Feepay.
\n\"LargeRedhair\"<\/p>\n

A monochrome over painted photograph from a car boot sale.
\n\"LargeBlackhair\"
\n\"LargeBlackhairCrop\"<\/p>\n

This ones a little different, I think a little later. Maybe she’s a star of stage or screen? Picked this one up at an antique fair via Feepay.
\n\"FancyBlueDress\"
\n\"FancyBlueDressCrop\"<\/p>\n

This lovely heavily painted photograph I found in a farmers market in West Wales…
\n\"SmallRedHair\"
\n\"SmallRedhairCrop\"<\/p>\n

This one came with a job lot of other stuff…
\n\"SmallGirl\"
\nThe reverse of this one is a little different, as in its backed with a rough textile.
\n\"SmallGirlReverse\"<\/p>\n

I don’t usually collect actual photographic prints, postcards, cdvs etc but occasionally I make an exception.<\/p>\n

This one makes me smile, I refer to it as the Scott Anton print… The artist and his muses. I love how the light falls on his hat, lots going on in this image.
\n\"Artist\"
\n\"ArtistCrop\"
\n\"ArtistCrop2\"<\/p>\n

This is a lovely albumen print.
\n\"TrioAlbumen\"<\/p>\n

An unusual Cabinet Card by G. Katsarov Photography
\nMy Bulgarian isn’t that good but heres roughly what I can get from it….<\/p>\n

Stara Zagora, Bulgaria – Some sort of awards\/medals
\n\"BulgariaCabinet\"
\n\"BulgariaCabinetReverse\"<\/p>\n

Keeping the child quiet.. a coin and spectacle case maybe?
\n\"BulgarisCabinetCrop1\"<\/p>\n

Watch the Birdie!.. I think this is a discarded “Birdie” on the floor.
\n\"BulgariaCabinetCrop2\"<\/p>\n

\"Birdie\"<\/p>\n

Theres always lots of talk of post mortem Victorian photography online. Most can be explained ie, head braces, pale eyes etc but this one I found really interesting. It wasnt till I looked at it a bit longer that I thought “maybe” theres something going on with the older lady… maybe.
\n\"FamilyAlbumen\"
\n\"FamilyAlbumenCrop\"<\/p>\n

I’m off to London tomorrow for the AHFAP conference and hope to get back to a more regular blog posting about my activities on my return.<\/p>\n

The sliding box camera is coming along nicely, just needs a bit of Mark Voce magic working on some of the woodwork and it should be good to go in a few days time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
