Good to know that abandoned jokes are still for sale in Lincoln City. And now I know where to stock up on some GAG° and GIFT°, too.

Here is a 5x7 image taken somewhere south of Moab of an old oil storage unit. This was one of the ends. I liked the texture so much that I went back with my 8x10 a couple of years later and reshot it. Not sure it was really necessary as the 5x7 certainly seems to hold its own in terms of detail. Just a simple detail shot. Ebony 5x7, 240 lens, and Provia 100.

REALLY love this one Jim!
I'm not one to use sappy colloquialisms, but to me, this one screams "Visceral texture" !
cheers,
Dan

Ken, very nice! Did you dodge the center or is it straight scan or print?

[Ken Lee]

Thank you Mark.

No dodging, just a straight scan of the negative. Exposed for the shadows with an incident meter, developed by inspection for the highlights with an infra red viewing device in the darkroom. A Yellow filter was used at exposure time to make the sky a bit deeper and give more definition in the autumn foliage.
