Deja Vu

I am once again sitting in the Island Grocery on a cloudy, grey day. Monday and Tuesday were absolutely gorgeous days for shooting, though, so I can't really complain. As soon as I arrived on Monday afternoon I had the chance to go out on my former boss (from the IG)'s boat. My plan was to focus on shooting just light and water without much else, if anything, in the frame. There's hardly a better setting from which to carry out this assignment than a little Boston Whaler. There are definitely perks to returning to places and people you know! (Though, of course, I am loving discovering new sites as well.)

I've also been working on honing my less than fabulous watercolor skills and think I'm finally making progress! Hurrah! Photos might be posted later but I may change my mind once I look back at the pieces. So don't hold your breath.

I'm about to head back to Brunswick and am anticipating beginning to experiment with the cyanotype process tomorrow. I'm getting pretty excited about that, though I'm sure it will involve lots of trial-and-error and tweaking before I can really get it to work. Fingers crossed that it's sunny out tomorrow because UV light will be pretty key to my success.

Below are some light/water photos from the last couple days. They're all in black-and-white because that's more similar to what they will look like as cyanotypes, should I choose to actually use any of them.
