Riverside California Printing Workshop September

[bob carnie]

I would like to announce a printing workshop that I will be giving in early September.
These workshops will be on split contrast printing on silver paper using a variety of methods I have learned over the years.

My wife and I will be exhibiting our work at M56 Gallery , the opening will be Saturday September 7th.

you can see details on the workshop here http://defendthedarkroom.ca/upcoming...de-california/

I hope to see some of you at the workshops and of course at our opening.

I did a very similar workshop (the description seems the same) with Bob in Toronto
at the Gallery 44 facilities (Gallery 44 is a co-op), several years ago
he is an excellent teacher (and a fun guy), and you will learn a lot
our workshop was also a two day affair
I walked away with five very nice 11x14 fiber prints, several toned, developed from 4x5 negatives which I brought to the workshop

Bob good luck with the opening, sorry I can't be there to see it

Great news Bob, and good luck on the exhibit. I guess I was in the Los Angeles area six months too soon!

Bob,

What size negatives will you be prepared to work with? I shoot primarily 8 x 10, but I think Matt's darkroom only accommodates negatives up to 4 x 5.

[bob carnie]

I am limited by the enlarger, I spend a lot of time with percentage printing so dodging and burning is very important to laying down tone, so for this workshop contact prints will not be appropriate. Since my methods work on my enlargers , I have 8x10 and 11x14 so the principles will be the same for large and small format negatives, basically some small changes in the starting points, and as well the type of look you are after is important.

so I think it does not matter if we use your smaller neg's as you will be immediately be able to apply them to your enlarger and workspace when you get home.

I am actually very comfortable with any format for this workshop from 35-4x5 as long as Matt has 4x5 glass carriers I can adapt.

[matthew blais]

Dan you have time to blow the dust off that 4x5 and shoot a few
Bob, I have carriers for all sizes up to 4x5 and a newton glass that I use 99% of the time..

[Dan Dozer]

Bob - I agree with your thought on contact prints. I don't normally do contact printing so your methods wouldn't help me much unless we were enlarging negs. Let me look into the 4 x 5 negs that I do have. I can probably come up with a couple that will work, or I could get out and shoot more with the "little camera". Matt's right in that there is still plenty of time to do some more shooting before September. This is something I might like to sign up for. Need to look at my schedule and finances a little more, but I'm seriously considering it.
