BIG BLUE | “World Cyanotype Day was started in 2015 by Judy Sherrod. Judy passed away a few years later. She was a true force of nature; an instigator, a mobilizer and a really good friend to many, many photographers. Judy was an alternative process photographer. She built big pinhole cameras that she and S Gayle Stevens used to make some truly astounding work. Judy was also the founder of the alternative photography group Shootapalooza. World Cyanotype Day is an offshoot and baby of the photographers of Shootapalooza. However, since its creation it has become a worldwide event.
The true genesis of WCD occurred over a few beers one evening in A Smith Gallery while having a conversation about the making of The World’s Largest Cyanotype in September of 2015. Judy had previously decided that A Smith Gallery, with the help of the members of Shootapalooza and the citizens of Johnson City, should sponsor the creation of The World’s Largest Cyanotype — It was magnificent at ninety feet long and thirty feet wide. Big Blue unofficially held the record for two years.
Judy was musing over the fact that there was a World Pinhole Day — so why couldn’t there be a World Cyanotype Day? That same evening, sitting in her famous Airstream Travel trailer, she acquired the domain name and shortly thereafter turned folks on, all over the planet, to the fun and magic of the cyanotype process. Thanks Judy.”
