Pictorial Photographs and Graphics by Andrew B. Myers, photographer, lives in Toronto.  Andrew reworks his photoes digitally then prints them using an old analogic technique called “Salt Printing”.

Salt printing is one of the oldest processes photography has employed, pioneered by Henry Fox Talbot back in 1839. The process hasn’t changed much since then. Basically, you start by coating paper in a solution of water and sodium chloride ( table salt) and letting it dry. Next, in a darkroom environment, a silver nitrate solution is applied to the salted paper, creating a light sensitive emulsion. Let it dry. At this point, a contact print can be made by sandwiching a film negative or some sort of transparency and letting the paper sit in the sun.
