About the Anmoe!
Hello! I am 18 years old and operating out of Southeastern VA, in the United States. I've been doing photography for about four years, though never professionally, 3D modeling for three, and alt-process printing since December 2023.
My main interests in alt process are Carbon, Gum Bichromate, photogravure, and handmade silver-gelatin, mostly because I can't afford platinum/palladium and already have some potassium dichromate lying around. At time of writing (8/26/2024), I've just acquired a beautiful but battered 1920s Seneca Competitor View in 5x7 that I'm adapting an X-ray lens to fit.
A lot of the reason for the colors of this website is my current alt process experience making Vandyke brown prints through digital negatives. I am now a committed digital negative hater, just to stay away from the computer as much as possible, so I enlarge onto X-ray film with a Nikor 6x7 enlarger. At the moment, I shoot 35mm and 5x7 on a Contax RTS III, Yashica FX-70, Minox 35 GT, and the aforementioned Seneca.
If you'd like to reach out, my email is surajksp2023@gmail.com.
I think for now I will be uploading process manuals, links to resources, and other things I find interesting (within reason). My biggest restriction here is the 1GB upload limit, otherwise I'd go wild. I plan to fill this almost entirely with more text than I could possibly imagine. The alt process Library of Babel. I wonder how much I can do with embeds and off-site links. Scroll down for this site's links!
