Christo, these shoes are interesting for the straight-forward presentation - like the whole Monjo series on your site. Do you use stand stand development to compress the range of tones. Could you do it with light instaid?

Nice image Fred. When is dinner?

Great Fred. Is that on ice?

[Fred Heming]

I went to a fishery market, bought some fish and crunched ice.
The crunched ice was put in a huge development tray.
I shoot both 5x7 and 11x14. 11x14 had been a hard job.
The ground glass was more than 2 meters above the floor, 60cm under the ceiling.
Focusing and adjustment was really tough.

Hello Christian,
I have used stand development for several reasons. This time because my drum was damaged. Second, because I was alone in home with my baby, so the stand was the easiest way to do two things in a time. And last but not least, I like the sharpness that I achieve with the stand dev. This is a natural light from my window plus a 95cm silver reflector. I don't have flashes. And I am not sure that I can do it with light...
Best Regards,
Christo
P.S. There is no photos of Monjo's shoes on my web.
