Mistake
Mackenzie Martin, one of my sophomores, printed this portrait of her 100-year old grandfather. It was printed on the wrong side of the printing paper and all of the inks ran together. I saw it and wanted to keep it. The ink has not dried, nor will it ever dry (well, it might in 50 years or so...), so I took a photograph of the print to preserve the character of the running ink. I really like this. I might actually do a series of images that are done like this.

Brian accidentally did this with a picture of his mother-in-law, or maybe it was his grandmother-in-law. Either way it looked cool, but Marie didn't like it. It was funny.
I did something like this a while back when I was printing on transparency materials. I printed on the wrong side accidently. I then took the transparency material with ink pooled up on it and sandwiched it with regular photo paper. It looks cool and that way it becomes more permanent. You can either leave the transparency material in place or remove it.
