Night Club/01

The idea behind these images came from a nightclub I frequented in North Shields. It was a bit of a dump, but, it’s where I seen my first stripper.

As I remember it. I was only eighteen at the time and full of drink as I watched her plying her trade. Then a fight broke out. Chair’s tables flying everywhere, but, I stood still, eyes fixated as she carried on striping. (Fantastic.)

Well that’s how I remember it. Funny how events change over time, what seems true to you now is not so for others. It’s strange how recollection changes from person to person. I suppose it’s how we hold events in are memory that defines our unique recollection. I, remember the stripper, but they will be them that only remember the fight. Unlucky them.

A selection of prints from a process called Cyanotype.

This was first introduced by John Herschel in 1842 and is still in use today.

It’s also known as the blueprint and the non-silvering process.

This is a simple procedure; after you’ve impregnated a piece paper or cloth with chemicals use darkened room to set.  Then lay your imaged acetate on top, place both under glass and expose to light.

 Expose to light for about thirty min’s and then wash it in water to set, hang to dry, all done, Fantastic

(Use ultra-violet light from a light box or direct sunlight, with a little practice you be fine)
