hey!
now now... before you look too close and think you know what your looking at.. listen here!!
Although something like this can easily be done in photoshop, i'm showing you all some skillful technique!

This is FILM! taken on Medium format (6x6).
Here i have taken 2 photos. one of a drawing, on a black piece of board (on negs, the black is clear and any light/white over rules black)
so there for the black doesn't show up on the final print!!
although you can notice a small textured pattern!! mmm
then i took a photo of leigh! in hte exact same spot on the negative... just to make it easier during printing.
so i sandwiched the two negs together! and this is what i printed out today!!
ohhh and i also measured how far apart Leigh's eyes were so i could scale the drawing!!
TAKE THAT!!!

Although the realistic print is so much more delicious than the scan!!
I would like to sell original copies of this print if anyone is interested!!! (note me)


thanks to :devindeterminiate: for being a little patient head!

haha its leigh head!!!

this is awsome jess!:) :hug:
i looove it.

however, i would be lost as to how to come up with something like this in photoshop. hence why i stick to photography, writing, and printmaking as opposed to photomanipulation :)

Push out dead air from a parking garage
Where you stand with the keys and your cool hat of silence
Where you grip her love like a driver's liscense
as if! that's quite the trick! having done dark room developing before I can appreciate the work that would have had to gone into this. goo job hun!
Very nice.

Stop whispering, start shouting.
That is really cool!
I did notice the texture straight away and was trying to figure out what it was you were up to....reading your explaination revealed more to it than i had expected (like you said). Well done, its a great shot! And to have done it the hard way makes it all the more wonderful :)
