For the second type of media, I did photograms. The process in order to achieve these images was to place a bunch of random objects that your creative juices conjure up on top of a piece of photo paper in the dark room. When you expose the piece of paper to light, whatever is exposed turns black. However, the beauty and fascination of this type of media is that the objects on top of the paper are protecting it, and therefore stay white, for they are never exposed. What I did to achieve an even greater effect was I moved a selection of the objects while the light was still exposing the paper, in order to get some greys in the photo, not just black and white. Some of the objects I used were a pair of sunglasses, a few necklaces, an intricate barrette, string, earphones, a silly band, a dog chain, a comb, and a Canadian dollar bill. If I were to choose a favourite item I would probably have to say the pearl necklace, for I enjoyed the structure and shape of it against the hard black, and also simply because I love pearl necklaces.
