Photogram - No negative is used during the exposure. Instead, objects are placed directly on the paper, which is then exposed. The photogram is created completely in the darkroom. Each is a one-of-a-kind original.

Composite photogram - Each print contains a center image made from a negative. This is exposed, then masked off. A photogram is then created around the center image. No two prints can ever be alike Original poetry surrounds the center image.

Cyanotype/Blueprint - A special emulsion is brushed on paper which is then exposed to the sun or strong light. A negative is placed directly on the paper to obtain the image.

Holga camera - A plastic "toy"camera which uses 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" film.

Hand coloring - Applying all colors directly to the surface of the print.

Silver print - Refers to the silver content in the light-sensitive emulsion on printing paper. After exposure, chemical action of the developer converts the silver halide crystals which have been exposed to light to dark metallic silver.
