hiroshi sugimoto...
shots 1, 5 and 8 are my favorites. you have such an eye for texture.
thank you so much for sharing them all.
i definitely would love more articles on alternative (old-school processes), maybe even including tips on building a UV light source.
also, i know there have been loads of articles on old lenses,...

i am interested in purchasing a longer lens for 4x5 than i currently own. at the moment, it is a toss up between a ross...
this may as well be a discussion on "what is art?". in my experience, these exchanges are virtually pointless, as art is entirely subjective. no point is ever made that changes another's mind. as...
congratulations!
here's what i reccommend...
stay away from the how-to books, look for inspiration anywhere you can.

these are fairly old images, but they remain a couple of my favorites. please forgive the crappy scan quality.

careful with the fingers. it'll work, but those negs scratch easily. as for soaking time, one minute or even a few minutes probably won't do it. you can easliy soak 'em all day in nothing more...

ipod - gotta have it (music, audiobooks and a stopwatch all in one!)
neoprene booties
towels
extra socks - nothin' worse than wet, sandy socks
i especially like the first couple of images. you could do a levinthal-ish series with that lens. the extreme separation of fore and background makes the truck look like a miniature!
thanks!

ash,
wow...what a can of worms...
first of all, with all the different things you've had to use on it so far, VINYL SEALER would be the next step. it will act as a chemical barrier between...
ash,
i know you want to bend ortho to your will, but perhaps you would enjoy something on the other side - infrared. i know i do. :)
