"That's Not My Dog" by Nicole W.







"I wanted to take a subject that isn't typically considered 'art' and somehow make it art. I took a roll of film of my dogs and experimented with different dark room techniques (some successful, some not...); selective developing, coloring, gradual exposure (at even pace pulling cardboard over stationary paper to have one side darker, opposite lightest, and inbetween with shading effect), reflection (couldn't get it to work), and combining prints without overlapping (tried in dodge & burn fashion, again didn't work). My favorites are the selective developing. So here they are."
