As I was saying…

I was talking about condensers. I’m still learning how to optimize its use but I’m getting there.

After my last post in June, I had a long writer’s block. In addition I continued my fascination with playing “Mad Scientist” mixing various substances to see what image is produced.

I have unofficialy adopted Loes Modderman as a mentor. She’s spent more than 50 years experimenting with chemicals and combinations; and she is a wonderful teacher. See her website at https://www.scienceart.nl/  

She is the founder and frequent contributor the Crystal Art Photomicrography group on Facebook. Her comments are always clear and informative.  There is also a 7-part tutorial posted in that group. I’ve learned so much from her.

It has been tempting to add to my chemicals. On FB, I see beautiful images produced by exotic substances.  I’m trying to hold myself in check, using what I have in different combinations.  Self-discipline is not one of my virtues.
