Something different maybe. Not only a straight forward photo but a lot of rework in the darkroom (solariration, copying, etc) and by brushing colours via airbrush. Ah, i projected a grid onto the face of the model when i did the shot.

this is crazy crazy stuff! Didja solarize the whole roll, or during the paper's exposure? what's the "etc" if i may ask as well?

Solarized while the paper's exposure. And the etc means here, that i did this several times. Solarizing, copying, solarizing the result, copying this and so on. Copying means here, puting the dried paper onto a "fresh" one, putting a piece of glas over it to keep it flat and put this under the lamp until you have a negative of the original. Treat the solarisation like a negative. Is this interesting enough so that i should put up more of these? I am not sure really wether someone would like it.

copying... that's how I used to do bas-relief without having to pay for getting my negatives duplicated... nyce.

yes, it is interesting too if you only copy images like this several time - sometimes.
