One Image, Seven Lith Interpretations
I did about three hours more lith printing with Tory today. Rather than write again about all the different permutations, exposure times, etc. I thought it would be more interesting to show the results of a week’s worth of work using the same image with seven different paper/dilution combinations. It’s a great way to see the variety possible with lith!

Clicking on any of the above images will open a higher resolution version so you can look at how wildly different the shadow texture is between each variation.
[...] played with the paper a bit using the Merced River shot (see the last image in my previous post), but really wanted to try it out with an unusual lensbaby image that’s in rotation on the front [...]
