Continuing with the trip down memory lane, one last print from the past. This is a bromoil print of the Fieldstone Lighthouse in Scidmore Park in Three Rivers, Michigan. This is the opposite view of the one I have on-sale in our shop. It is from my Independent Study portfolio. I really loved learning this turn of the century, alternative photographic process! I would love to try my hand at it again but it takes hours to ink up one print. ~ Matteo #filmphotography #filmisalive #filmisnotdead #bwphotography #bwphoto #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite #darkroom #darkroomphotography #analogphotography #analogfilm #35mmfilm #35mmphotography #pentax #bromoil #bromoilprint #threeriversmichigan #scidmorepark #alternativeprocess #alternativeprocessphotography (at Three Rivers, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-fcdxOpB2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Photographed from above through tree limbs supporting several inches of snow, this rare #wintertime view by California #pictorialist photographer #SigismundBlumann (1872–1956) shows a home courtyard with parked automobile seen through limbs at lower left. Most likely dating to the late #1920s, this example was printed #1932 or later due to Blumann’s inclusion of his F.R.P.S. affiliation (the year he earned this distinction) within the lower right corner of the primary matt’s impressed window. Printed in blue | aquamarine tones, this example was done in a process (though uncredited on mount label) Blumann called “Lithobrome”, his own reworking of the better known bromoil transfer process. For this reason, #PhotoSeed is assigning this print within the #Bromoilprint category. Two articles describing the process were published in Camera Craft.
