Lith Printing

Today I got a chance to try something new - well, NEW to me! hahaha  Lith Printing has been a round for a long time. I found this process totally interesting... 

The photo (below) comes from a blk/wht negative, and I have created blk/wht photos from it in the past. But this time, using the lith developers we are able to get different tones from the blk/wht image. All 3 photos had the same amount of exposure time but are on three different types of paper- each of which gives a different tonal look. Likewise each print (using the same paper) will have a slight different and original look from the next. This is because of how the chemical reacts to the paper and the way that the crystals in the paper are effected will be slightly different then some in the next sheet or paper. 

I really loved the Slavic paper (2cd photo above) - It had a beautiful grainy feel to it, and I think I would have liked it more on a different image. But for this photo I liked this paper below because of the way that it gave an old look and feel. (I'll post the brand of paper soon.)
