Footprint on the beach in Florida. A 10in x 14in cyanotype from a 35mm film negative.

I have always loved the beach. Something about the sand and the ocean that touches me deeply. I always get the nostalgic feeling when I am on the water. That last days of Summer feeling. Hard to describe but if you know it you know it. This print is from a 35mm film picture (black and white) that I took on the Gulf of Mexico in Florida. Footprint supplied by my beautiful wife. I think the graininess of the film is a good complement to the cyanotype process. The watercolor paper adds to the texture and you can almost feel the sand between your toes (or maybe in your swimsuit)!

A series of four prints and I will be waxing them today and then up for sale next week!
