Summer 2020

5x4 negative of this past week, a section of a cut tree stump.

Great things happen in lousy times, can't wait to print this.

Mat Colors - aesthetic value

Once toned my prints usually have a cool magenta cast to them overall but not always. Much depends on the darkroom paper itself, which usually has a green cast.

The mat color is an important part of the photograph - it can greatly compliment it. Here I mat a photograph, deciding on the best complimenting off-white color. A cool cream color seems best, but warm white works well also.

Recent Archival Prints

Recent archival silver gelatin printings include, 4x5 inch large format photography contact prints. Perhaps my favorite prints of all.
Enlargements are from 35mm from the Leica and 6x6cm Rolleiflex cameras,  SL66 and 6001 as well as 5x4 inch negatives. Toning to follow!

Photography in Illinois

June was a good month for photographing in farm country Illinois, the weather there was great. Results are some really good B&W negatives made using the 4x5, plus many rolls from the Rolleiflex. Prints to follow.

Picture is from my phone, which will make a outstanding Black and White print.
Instagram has more from Illinois.

Photographing Trees

One of my favorite themes to photograph up close are the patterns and details of the bark.
