Here's my #photos #slideshow video from this morning's #printmaking workshop at Welland Community Orchard 
#Indigo & #hibiscus infused with water to create part of the #PlantBased compound mixture for #AnalogueFilm #PhotoNegatives #FilmDeveloping at the #CreativeWorkshop yesterday.
The #AnalogueFilm camera used at the #CreativeWorkshop yesterday.
The #Graflex #CrownGraphic aka Graflex #PacemakerCrownGraphic is a #LargeFormat press #camera introduced by Graflex Inc. in 1947. The lesser known Crown Graphic is commonly mistaken for the Graflex Speed Graphic which is often regarded as the most famous press camera of all time. The mistake is easy to make, however, since the two cameras are identical apart from an additional focal plane shutter on the speed.
I had a great time at the indigo & plant-based #AnalogueFilm processing workshop, at Wark St Commons Community Garden, in #QuadraCommunityVillage 
Learned a lot. Got to enjoy hands-on practice at blending different processing fluids & developing photos at the workshop.
I'm quite tired now. Really need to eat & rest. I met some wonderful fellow creatives. I'm keen to learn & do more of these experimental, alternative photography processing manual techniques.
I recruited 2 new activist volunteers too, for free Palestine actions.
City of Victoria Artist in Residence Kemi Craig is hosting an experimental #workshop with collaborating artist Trudi Lynn Smith and guest artist Josh Ngenda from Flux Media that will introduce participants to alternative ways of developing #AnalogueFilm using #indigo and other #PlantBased materials.
Participants will be given strips of film which they can use to explore images produced by a variety of plant-based developers and tints, with a focus on indigo. No experience with dark room process is needed. All materials will be supplied.
This event will be hosted outdoors.
Pre-registration required.

On Friday, I'm going to an experimental #CreativeWorkshop to learn alternative ways of developing #AnalogueFilm using #indigo & other #PlantBased materials.
Kemi Craig is a woman of African descent who grew up in South Carolina where indigo is of historical significance for #BlackCultures. As an #artist working in analogue film, which has also deeply affected ideas of Blackness across cultural spectrums, Kemi is interested in exploring relationships between #ImageMaking & indigo. In unpacking parallel practices & #cultural relationships to indigo & film, Craig has invited Joshua Ngenda from #FluxMedia to collaborate. Trudi Lynn Smith will generously share her extensive #FilmDevelopment experience & #PlantKnowledge with participants.
