Participants are invited to collect natural materials and use photographic negatives to create one-of-a-kind vivid blue monochromatic photos using one of the oldest photography techniques still used today. The cyanotype is a slow-reacting, economical photographic printing formulation. It produces a monochrome, blue colored print, often used for art, and for reprography in the form of blueprints.
