This one is also salicylic acid, but the
crystals have grown much faster and
overlap and join. Conditions are the
same as before -- more or less. I've
taken well over 150 similar images with
the *ist D about half of which have been
scrapped. I have dozens on film as well.
This is the start of a commercial
operation. They'll be offered for sale
from a US website as prints, framed, or
mailed in tubes. But because I have such
warm feelings for the Pentax group I've
snatched the opportunity to come back --
now that I have a Pentax body on the
microscopes again and can legitimately
do so -- and show some of this stuff.
One idea is that many prints could be
original -- one image one print. This
way you could not find, hanging in a
neighbors bathroom, the same one you
have in the prized spot in your front
hall. I've been looking at websites
where pictures are for sale and trying
to decide how to price them. However
they're different insofar as they'll be
originals with no others like them
anywhere. Any suggestions? Off-list
would be best for a reply to this one.
The big printer has been set up, paper
and loads of ink bought (in Oklahoma by
the way) and soon we'll start. The first
ones should be ready in a week. Because
my partner and I are now in business I
have to forgo the satisfaction of
posting galleries of these images as I
have done with other photomicrographs
and videos.
Diatoms and other interesting and
beautiful 'micro-life' will be included
in these collections.

This is amazing (and again, begs the question: what is it, exactly?).
It looks like organic stained glass.
You're truly putting that camera to good use :)
