Adam Fuss: Untitled

                                                      2011 gelatin-silver print photogram

This photogram, well this author as a whole, provides very different techniques of photo imaging to look at. I especially like this one for the resemblance to water splashing, however it seems to be more of a metallic splash of water than its pure form. I looked into the makings of gelatin-silver photograms and it mentioned this light sensitive material has silver salts suspended in the gelatin, which I presume gives it this metallic look, especially one with some sort of fluidity in the material.

This technique is brand new to me and is something I wouldn't mind taking a further look into. It is always intriguing to find new ways of making imagery-- especially if it is more abstract than normal.
