The shortening days catch up as I race the light to make one more platinotype. In July I could have still started one at 5PM I move the frame further and further away until it is out on the state road where it catches the attention of passers by – and works a conversation starter but not as a effective means of exposure as the setting sun wins.

normally twenty minutes to a half hour.

in the late september afternoon? forever. tried to salvage the papr by continuing the exposure the next day but that turned into tow days later as we are now getting the rains that usually signal a change in season.
