For my 2^14 subscriber play button, I decided to make a blueprint (cyanotype print) using Ware's "New Cyanotype" chemistry, some printed out transparencies, and ultraviolet light from the sun! But that wasn't quite enough - I wanted to go beyond prints and build a CAMERA - a giant analog camera. Instead of a physical mask that blocks light, a camera uses a lens to focus light onto a piece of chemically sensitized film or paper to form an image. In my case, a very large image on a very large piece of paper… My camera exposes on 11x15" sheets of watercolor paper, and takes about a day to take a photograph. After a water bath, they're ready to go straight on the wall!
