I forgot to invert the transparency to create a negative to print, so I inverted another image and put them together and printed the double negative, a happy accident in layering. #digitalart #cyanotype #photography #microexpressions #Annoyance

Eleanor Roosevelt #cyanotype #art #history
Teddy Roosevelt was shot in the chest before giving a speech in 1912. He spoke for 90 minutes before getting medical help. “Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot—but it takes more than that to kill a bull moose.
I'm producing a retrospective of the life and presidency of FDR making historic photos into #cyantypes What could be more appropriate for the introductory frame than "Where there's shadow; there is light" - (Kyler England). From polio to the presidency, he led US into the light.

Fiercely independent, Eleanor Roosevelt championed civil rights, women’s voices, and the dignity of the marginalized. Her statue in D.C. stands not just for a First Lady, but for a conscience in motion—an enduring symbol of compassion fused with courage. #compassion #love #art
@mackaracka.bsky.social I'm working on a video montage on FDR with help from Copilot AI in planning and formatting various computer programs. That version of AI is really sophisticated, helpful, and inspiring. I have to keep reminding myself that it's not a person, ha ha!
Trump's usurpation of power is diametrically opposite of FDR's vision. #politics #FDR

@samsonsimpson.bsky.social Hey! What are you up to?
@babylon-slim.bsky.social I'm glad I found you here. I'm trying to use X less. It's so toxic.
@mackaracka.bsky.social How are you? I'm still on X looking for my friends who are here too. I'm getting ready to delete it. It's disgusting and depressing. Thanks for the reposts!
@soulanna.bsky.social Thanks Anna. We've been friends for a long time, and I've missed you since the Twitter bird bit the dust! I post most of my artwork here.
I got a good handle on editing a movie screenshot to process a cyanotype print in the last couple of days. Also, I learned how to get rid of black screen when recording a Roku movie. #photography #processing #cyanotype #gimp #OBS Claire 'McLeod's Daughters ↓

The "Do It Anyway" quote originates from a set of paradoxical commandments written by Dr. Kent M. Keith in 1968. It became famous after being found on the walls of Mother Teresa's children's home in Calcutta.
