I'm all for anything that remotely resembles good news at this time of year. Even the tiniest break in the routine of too many hours at work each day is welcomed. I don't get many phone calls at work and generally don't like the interruption in my workflow but the one yesterday morning was a big exception.
My baby brother (40 years old, 6 foot 2 and 180 pounds, but still the baby of the family) is back in the States after a second tour of the Gulf region. He still has the long drive up I-95 before he's safely back with us, but that can't be anywhere as bad as tooling around downtown Baghdad.

Yesterday morning's alt-process class saw us printing the cliche verre negs we painted last week and playing around with photgram collages. Most of my results were too freeform for my tastes, although I was quite pleased by a 
multiple tracing on acetate. I don't know that this technique will become part of my portfolio, but it was a fun adventure in breaking free from the usual methods of photography.
Is it worth printing later as a cyanotype? Maybe if I find some playtime this afternoon.
