Salted paper takes us back to the beginning of photography, essentially the same process used by William Fox Talbot around 1840. A piece of good quality paper is treated in a chloride solution. After drying, it is coated with a solution of silver nitrate and dried again. It is then exposed to sunlight (or another source of ultraviolet radiation) through a negative. The image "prints out" in a short period of time. It is given a wash in fresh water and is then "fixed" or stabilized with a weak solution of sodium thiosulfate. The chemistry of the process allows for many tweaks - iodide or bromide instead of or combined with the chloride, various ways of toning, etc. Looking at a salted paper print just feels like stepping back in time.
