Probably the oldest photo in the collection, I did this way back in my senior year of high school in my Graphic Communications class.

I believe the technique is called a 'photogram' - essentially, you place objects directly on the photographic paper then expose it to a bright light for a few seconds... then see what develops. It was an interesting exercise, and I would like to try it again sometime.

The subject is, I admit, rather cheesy. But I think the technique gives the image an otherworldly, kinda organic quality that I, personally, believe really adds something to the picture.
