Marshal Tavern salt print

Printed 6 December 2025
The print is warmer than this shows, with a little pink cast to the sky.

Foggy at my house, so I put it in the contact printing frame and drove about 1/2 hour to find some sunshine! It was exposing on the passenger seat while I drove under the clouds :)

Then another 30m open sky w/ diffuser
12m sun w/ diffuser
13m open sky no diffuser
3m direct sun.

This is maybe a boring picture, but it printed easily. Then I drove home and processed it. Toned with gold borax toner for about 40m

Very interesting process! My first glimpse at the thumbnail and I was reminded of a photo by Joseph Niépce.

Thanks! Calotypes were a little later than Niépce. This process was used by Jacques-Michel Guillot and his wife Amélie Saguez starting around 1843. They published a little booklet with instructions in 1847: Méthode de photographie sur papier. I'm having a lot of fun trying it.

It looks fun! I've always wanted to try something like that. Maybe someday....

I never thought to incorporate a road trip with photo printing -- well conceived, and nicely executed!
