TLF 1st Edition

The Light Farm website went up in early 2008. I envisioned the site as a cooperative learning experiment and experience. The early fruits were low-hanging and the information accrued quickly. Within two years, it took a bit more effort to post new "stuff." At the end of 2009 I started blogging the process in Bits & Pieces Journal. Many processes evolved over time. In 2015, I published the book, The Light Farm, Handmade Silver Gelatin Emulsions, Volume 1: The Basics. The information in that book refines and expands upon most of the information in "TLF 1st Edition" and the "Bits & Pieces Journal." A new book, exclusively about making printing paper and paper negatives will be published in December 2018.

Of course, the research continues. New work is currently blogged in The Clan of the Velveteen Rabbit.

For convenience with navigation, each page has a link to the site index specific to TLF 1st Edition.
