Testing the UV Box

Last week I built a UV box so I could do cyanoypes and lumen prints without the sun (thanks, monsoon season). I've made a ton of cyanotypes that I can't really share yet because they're part of a cool collab with Ultimate Rick Jones, but here's the box and a couple of lumen prints. It makes speedy work of a cyanotype - like 6min! The lumen prints take much longer though, upwards of an hour. Could be the paper on these (it's super old), but the pinks ended up be interesting and the hot spot actually looks kinda cool with the butterflies. Fortunately I haven't seen the hotspot on the cyanotypes? Will have to play around with that and figure out the limits.
