Fun with Images: The Warholizer

I always did like Andy Warhol's pop images. I used to play around in the darkroom and put color sides in the enlarger, then expose them on black & white photo paper. That produced some interesting results, so then I tried exposing the slides on 4 x 5-inch sheets of high contrast lithographic film. That process reduced the color photo into a pure black & white negative with no gray scale. Printing that negative on black & white photo paper made some fascinating pictures that looked more like precise ink drawings than photographs. I will say that it is a whole lot easier playing around with these digital images and you can do it all with the lights on and your fingers out of smelly photographic chemicals. I used The Warholizer from FD Toys for this multiple posterization project.
