Re: [OM] What is photography?

[Scott Nelson]

Sure, these are called "photograms." One of the first things we were taught to
do in the darkroom (as a teenager) was make photograms. In this way, you could
learn about printing immediately, without processing film first. I recall I made
a photogram of a light bulb. I thought it looked pretty cool with the graduated
tones becoming darker toward the middle of the bulb.

used (was he a photographer?) by
putting scissors and other objects on photographic paper and exposing it in the
darkroom.>>
