Remembering Linda
-
^ I looked in my Sunprints book (bought in Liverpool for £1.99!) and I couldn't find the photo you were referring to. Is it in a different book?
My friend Jennifer sent me some pics of one of Linda's sister's wedding. A friend of hers played guitar at it. Will try to find the pics.

I think the photo Love2Travel is referring to about James is a black and white, when he was a baby but looks like he's somehow in mid-air... but he wasn't... it's been posted on Linda's Instagram, maybe we can look there
-
I think this is the photo of baby James that Love2Travel was referring to earlier. It was posted on Linda's official Instagram on May 7, 2017

^ I see now! The figures on her dress are of James!

Yes, that's what she was wondering. It looks like there's sea mammals on the fabric print as well, so that's why I wasn't sure, and just wondered if that was a coincidence.
Haven't seen this photo before, and thought it was lovely of them both

Yes Lady Leslie, saw that version at one of Linda’s exhibits. It was the version of that photo in Linda’s Sunprints book that reminded me of the one on the dress.
It’s a beautiful book and the photos are made with special paper exposed to sunlight. (Did that technique in a college art class) very cool.

Thanks, Love2Travel, hadn't heard of that technique before, sounds very interesting.
Was curious about the shadow image of baby James, and how she was able to photograph that. We know he wasn't in mid-air without anything to hold on to, so it must have been the way the sun was shining through a sail on a boat or something... and made a shadow? Thought it was interesting how it turned out.

She could have used the same sports screen from your photo and placed the reactive paper under the screen for exposure which is what we did in my class by placing items over the paper and then exposing it. Now that I am looking at Linda’s sun prints again, I’m seeing that she is using photos, and getting an image, sort of like a sepia photo. The chemical causes the blue, instead of sepia colouring. So perhaps she focused a light over the film. It looks to me like she may have put the chemical solution on the paper, then exposed the chemical laden paper with a light source through the film. I’ll have to dig up my Sunprints book and do some reading. It might be something done in her Darkroom. Now you have me interested!

Thought this was a lovely photo of Linda, that may have been taken for one of her cookbooks

That is really another beautiful picture of Linda!
I found a you tube that explains the sunprints. A little way in, they explain how to make them from photos. Linda was doing some cool stuff!

Thanks so much for this link, L2T! Had never seen how this was done before, and really enjoyed watching this!
This is another lovely photo of Linda we may not have seen before - taken by Paul in 1975 of the Standing Stone on their property in Scotland.

It’s very cool to see this Standing Stone with Linda. I had seen the Standing Stone on the Standing Stone Album Cover. Linda had a photo of an Appaloosa and a Standing Stone in the distance at a gallery show, I think it might have been this stone. Thanks for sharing this photo! Very Cool! There is also an overhead shot of a Standing Stone in the front yard of one of their homes that is cool. The Standing Stones and the Ley Lines are very interesting indeed. Met a guy in a bar over there and he was talking about the Standing Stones and Ley Lines and Masonic markers in the market town I was in. All of that is very ancient and very fascinating. I see that history in her photos.
Linda was so cool, especially in many of her photos, you can see where her mind would see something and she’d photograph it... like the Glass Teapot photo in which a double tree was refracted by the glass lens of the teapot, to turn upside down! She has so many photos that encompass and showcase the culture and traditions of where she is at the time the photo is taken, the Sun Prints and many other aspects of photography. .

That's wonderful you were able to visit Scotland, and hear more about the Standing Stones and Ley Lines, etc. For some reason I came across a video yesterday that showed this stone, and was really intrigued by it, and was glad to have found a photo of Linda with it. She was very artistic and creative, and spiritual, and a visionary with light and shadows... yet she was a Golden Earth Girl as well, who liked to grow vegetables and herbs and eat healthy and take care of animals... and can't forget to add was a wonderful wife and mother. As I've said many times, I'm as much a fan of her as I am of Paul! I just appreciate all she brought to the world when she was here, and we've learned alot, and are living healthier, from her example.

I have to agree with you on all of your comments! Have always been a big fan of Linda's and have followed her photography and her move to eating healthy! Seeing her playing in a band was so cool as well. She has many firsts and as more and more becomes revealed over the years, I admire her even more. I'm wondering if the Standing Stone on the album cover is a different one than this one, or just photographed at a different angle?
-
The Standing Stone is the same one if you're referring to Paul's Standing Stone album.

Here's another Linda photo, with the Standing Stone in the background, and her beloved Appaloosa (what was it's name? I was thinking it was Lucky...)
-
I believe it was Lucky Spot. I bought a copy of a photo and I’m thinking it was called Lucky Spot in a daisy field!

That's right! I remember it's name now. Thanks so much!

They look so happy in that photo! This is another one taken on the same day.
