"Floral Hall, Red Mile, Lexington, KY"
A carbon print on sized Saunders Waterford paper



Just before Christmas, I had one of my better glop pouring sessions.
The image is from one of the tissues.
Original image was captured on expired 5x7 FP4 with Fuji 250mm 6.7 lens.
The image was scanned and a dig neg printed on Pictorico OHP transparency.
Not up to the standard of the Masters (TT, Sandy, Jim, Vaughn etc) but still striving...

I like it . I bet there is a a lot of work for you to keep the details in the highlight of this image. You did great so please keep it up.

Thanks, TT and Happy New Year! Carbon is really unforgiving. The attention to detail cannot be over emphasized. I destroyed the next image I tried printing because I didn't wait long enough to separate the tissue from the final support. Ah well. Nice image you just posted, btw.

Thanks, Andrej! In few weeks, I am going to attempt the real thing - copper plate photogravure! Wish me luck!
Happy New Year!

Here's the snap shot from a friend helping Dadi Liu setting up his work at Photo LA .
Have you seen the Platinum this big before ?
There will be a greet and meet with the artist Liu and Hass the Chamonix camera owner at my place next week . Feel free to contact me if you like to meet them . Thanks Hugo for coordinate this event.

yeah, it's from a 8x20 film negative made with a 480mm eidoscope lens and digitally enlarged and galons of chemicals were use/wasted. But it is very impressive.

Is the emphasis on "used" or "wasted"?

Used, but I could imagine how much were wasted to come to a final print of this size.
