Abstract
Memorabilia: Old Photographic Process Application on Functional Objects. It is a concept of creating photographic artwork as a personal expression of memories that have passed for a long time, or have just been overlooked because they are triggered by an object or moment and are always ringing in the mind so that they bring back memories of the past. As one of several old photographic processes, Vandyke print is a photo printing technique in the nineteenth century with monochrome (sepia) color characters that fits perfectly with the old impression of representing memorabilia memories that are realized in visual form. In this creation, functional objects are used as photo print media. Material or objects used as media to express ideas are such as something impressive, penetrating into feeling, thought, or action. Generally the material is understood to be passive, but on this context, things become active because they can trigger someone's memory of memorabilia. The works aim to bring back the memory of the past by printing old photographic processes by responding to functional objects which have personal stories and leave an impression. Apart from provoking the memories of the past, the photographic works could also become a personal reference of how important those memorabilia were. Keywords: memorabilia, old photographic process, functional objects

Summary
Vandyke brown print ditemukan oleh Sir John Herschel pada tahun 1842 (sumber: https://www.alternativephotography.com, diakses pada tanggal 2 Februari 2018, pukul 02.00 WIB). Selain itu metode cetak vandyke juga ekonomis dan dapat dicetak dengan berbagai jenis media. Metode cetak ini memerlukan proses penguatan emulsi yang dilakukan setelah pembilasan awal. Campuran larutan A+B+C dapat disimpan dalam botol cokelat dan bisa bertahan selama satu bulan. Pengolesan emulsi untuk vandyke brown print dapat dilakukan secara masal karena sifatnya yang dapat bertahan selama satu bulan. Kertas yang telah diolesi emulsi harus disimpan di dalam tempat yang redup/ gelap. Sama seperti proses old print lain, penyinaran dapat dilakukan dengan sumber cahaya matahari atau cahaya ultraviolet. Untuk peyinaran dengan cahaya matahari, dibutuhkan durasi yang lebih singkat, yaitu 10-15 menit selama proses penyinaran, pencetak dapat melakukan inspeksi hasil cetakan untuk mengetahui perkembangan emulsi. Pembilasan kertas yang telah disinari dilakukan dengan air kran. Hasil cetakan kemudian dibilas dalam air mengalir selama 30 menit untuk kemudian dikeringkan. Hal ini selanjutnya memunculkan kebiasaan selanjutnya yakni mengamati benda-benda yang ada di sekitar
