Kim as Heavenly Body

darkroomdays13

Back in my darkroom days, and before Photoshop, I used to do fun things like this.

Kim is actually in my swimming pool.  The technique you see here is called solarization, but with dodging around her head.  The “stars” are actually sand sprinkled on the photo paper during the second exposure.

This is what I considered my early masterpiece.  Created entirely in the darkroom, I combined my telephoto picture of the moon with an old shack in the central California delta farmland, using a technique of combination dodging and solarization.
