The Balzacs Coffee Shop at the Distillery District in Toronto has one of my favourite cafe interiors in the city. I love the view from the second floor.
Working With an Accident
This hand-tinted cyanotype began as an iPhone photograph of the centre of a bowl/plate that someone left out on their lawn. But when I made the digital negative to make the cyanotype contact print I forgot to invert it, so the negative was a positive.
I decided to go with it, and tired hand-tinting the “negative” cyanotype with watercolour pigments. Here is the results.
Note: instead of just scanning the print, I just took a photo of the entire thing.
