Edinburgh Cyanotype

[Rob MacKillop]

STILLS, the photography gallery in Edinburgh are running a project for Science Week, having people in different parts of Edinburgh placing a sheet of cyanotype paper outside their house this week. What that will teach us is that it rains a lot, as you can see from my effort above!

The two moon-shaped objects are evidence of the two plant pots I used to prevent the paper blowing away...

What an intriguing project.

 

[Dave Farnes]

Facinating. Has a scientific look, almost like a microscope slide.

 

[Rhonda Smith]

That is really neat. What is the study actually for? (if you know.)

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I'm not sure. All is due to be revealed during the Science festival, but I fear that's about to be cancelled due to the bloody coronavirus.

 

[Rhonda Smith]

Yes, It is getting pretty ugly here. Little to no testing at the moment. I am a caregiver and have to care for my elderly clients. I have been wearing masks and gloves when shopping. besides washing and sanitizing like crazy. I have to be careful, as my husband has compromised health issues. Please stay safe and healthy.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I feel for you, RJ. Best wishes to you and your husband, and for those you care for. The worst is yet to come, unfortunately.

Thank you , Rob. One day at a time.
