Vaughn,

I'll take your rejects.

Vaughn, nice images both of them. It seems like you have changed the tonality some. Not as warm? Maybe we need to plan a trip?

One color does not fit all... I drove thru your part of CA a couple days ago...I should have dropped by, but was at the end of a 7-week, 10,000 mile road trip and my three boys were anxious to get on home.

Now it is time to get the university's darkroom ready for the start of the new school year!

I knew you were on the road and I understand the desire to get home. Hope to get together at some point later in the year and hear all about the trip.

Nice image of the White Dove of the Desert. Did you get down to Tumacacori? These two are the northernmost of the Kino Missions. there are another 9 down in Sonora, some in excellent shape, some in ruins. A nice swing down south crossing at Nogales and come out at Yuma...Used to be you could pay the keepers at several a $20 note and get access to the roof - I've made some interesting images from the top of two of them. Those days are past now - they won't do it.

HelloDon,

I did get down to Tumacacori. Missions are not really my "thing", but it was interesting to work with the two of them. I liked being able to get on the hilltop above the San Xavier del Bac Mission and photographing it in its environment. The lions were fun to work with.

I did wander around -- saw the "classic" AA angle from the back and photographed from the ground level in the front (not a bad image, but a bit generic).

Vaughn...that's the del Bac mission in the salt print, right?

I have a toned silver print from April of this year here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/viapiano/3471088315/

Been thinking of printing this one in platinum...

Nice image! It probably is just the reproduction on the computer screen, but it seems to be printed a little heavy -- that desert light just seems to be a bit, well, lighter than I am seeing in your image. Perhaps what it does need is to be printed in platinum -- it will be a nice image to work with! You have a couple (very good) palladium images on the site (Grand Canyon, and perhaps Joshua Tree) that do have the feel of the desert light to them.
