We are looking for a September opening, latest would be October.
I plan to bring Sandy up in Feb to freeze him .
Appreciate the kind comments, and questions, about my work.
Regarding the look, my own reaction to the image on the monitor and to the print itself is quite different. Viewing a print on a monitor tends to privilege certain image qualities such as tonal values, graphic disposition and ideatic suggestion. It is on the whole a more cerebral experience. Seeing the print in the flesh encompasses all of the above, but especially with carbon printing it is a more sensual and physical experiences as one is drawn to the surface and textural qualities of the print, some of which are conveyed by image relief. For example, when you look at the image on screen you probably will not see any differentiation in the very deepest shadows. However, in the print itself you can actually see separation into the very deepest shadows because of the ripple effect of relief. This is something I have never observed in prints made with any other type of process, and is thus highly unique to carbon printing.
As for work flow, I attempt to expose and develop/process my negatives and digital files to retain a full range of tones, from the deepest shadows to the highest highlights. Whether I am working with a scan of a negative or digital capture image basic processing is done primarily in Camera Raw in PS. In the ideal world my files would be on the flat side as I find it easier to adjust this type of image with Tone Curve than to get what I want from high contrast files. IR and flat lighting, whether with film or digital, gives a nice template that allows for a lot of creative control.

Nothing crass in asking about price. At least I hope there is not because it is one of the first things on my mind when I contemplate buying a piece of art.
I am not sure at this point about pricing on the large carbon prints, in fact the series is not even complete at this time. The edition size for these large prints will be quite limited, 3-5 prints per image, and they will only be sold through the Dylan Ellis Gallery. However, part of the work flow of making the large ones involves first making a small one of about 5X7" in size, and my intention is to prepare limited editions in the smaller size for sale at a reasonable prince, either through the gallery or through my web site.
I am currently re-structuring my web site to change the nature of print offerings and this information on the limited edition smaller prints should be there in two or three weeks. Or please feel free to contact me directly.
