I went to see Tri this Friday just so I can take a real look at that 20x24 carbon transfer. I was almost speechless! I had seen his 11x14 carbon prints and thought they were impressive and even traded a lens for one of them, but to see that 20x24 print with that huge mass of relief at certain angle, it's really something. The ultimate in print making, I told Tri. Someday I have to learn it! On his wall, there hanging a framed carbon transfer by Jim, that was a beauty to behold as well.

Thanks Tri for this feast of my eyes!

Hugo, looks like we need to get together the three of us and show you the magic! I can't wait to see Tri's 20x24 carbon print. It is a wonderful accomplishment. Transferring a carbon print that big is a challenge so Bravo Tri! Tri was committed to the process from the start and understood what I told him it took to become a good carbon printer and in a short period of time and with great commitment he is producing some amazing prints.

Tri, yes we should set some time aside to get together over the holiday break. I just sent my student home with .... get this 10 carbon transfer prints! First day I took him through the whole process making glop and all and did 4 prints. Today a review of the process and 6 prints. All of them keepers! My student was very, very pleased. Made me feel good too. Nice to be able to work with different imagery. He had some great stuff from the White Mountains.

I was scanning these for possible entry in a show. Don't think I've had them on here before.
