Waves: Still Soaking

With in the photo degradation series I am continuing to work on the waves project.  I am varying the length of time the prints soak in the ocean water. As well as what I am doing tot he prints prior to putting them into the container.

Interesting results are coming through strangely enough the blue/cyan seems to be the first that is affected by the process.  So these become very red/magenta and yellow images.  The pictures Im posting are all direct scans with no editing.

Also I decided to through one of the photos into the bleaching solution used for the cyanotypes, while no change was immediately noted, the picture has a definite browning to the over all work.  I did not allow it to soak long, i was just experimenting but its interesting and I may decided to move forward a little on this thing.
