I happened to be rifling through one of my visual diaries the other day and found this, below.

I remember feeling some sense of exhilaration over the finished product.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8308\" title=\"PJB_photogramprint1\" src=\"http:\/\/archives.piajanebijkerk.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/PJB_photogramprint1.jpg\" alt=\"PJB_photogramprint1\" width=\"500\" height=\"395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archives.piajanebijkerk.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/PJB_photogramprint1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/archives.piajanebijkerk.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/PJB_photogramprint1-87x68.jpg 87w, https:\/\/archives.piajanebijkerk.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/PJB_photogramprint1-300x237.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><small>photogram with print, untitled, Pia Jane Bijkerk 1996.<\/small><\/p>\n<p>I love the tactility of making photograms, it&#8217;s a rather marvelous process and if you are a photo-making-enthusiast, I highly recommend the developing adventure.
