Perhaps the difference in opinion here is because I was thinking of printmakers as being often collaborators in turn with the artist/photographer. Especially with photography, where a print can be...

I don't have a great memory, but what I've found is that making photographs greatly enhances my memory of places and experiences. I make the photographs I want to make for myself, despite the fact...

:)

That reminds me. I had to wait almost 30 minutes for folks to stop walking through the area or looking at the camera and talking with me about this or that. I'm lucky to have gotten a few...

I like the shadow one a lot! Thanks!

Here's another self-portrait. Somewhere in Vegas.

Thanks y'all! The light was so different there than what I was used to. It didn't feel overly contrasty and I think my meter reading gave me a solid 7-8 stops, but the impressive array of green tones...

Thanks Erik! Already made 3 prints. They are at the gallery in town as for July we are doing a "New Work" show. I should've taken pics.

Here's something from Las Vegas! The Forum Shops at Caesar's...

The cheapest thing you can get your hands on. Which looks like you found, though I had never heard of that film prior to now.

That said you may be able to find cheaper old-stock film from members...

Here is a shot in the abandoned structure near the previous barn I posted:

From the very accurately-named "Stonefield Beach" in Oregon. To me this looked like a drone/aerial view of the beaches in CA/OR with a big haystack, rather than just a small tableau near the edge of...

Gary, I really hate cutting mats, which is the main reason I don't have one! Also, the company I've worked with for the past couple of years can do exact custom mats to my measurements and the prices...

Thanks. It was certainly interesting. We don't get those over on this coast, as far as I'm aware.

Actually, while I saw a ton of signs about sneakers while at various coastlines, this was one of...

Last I heard, you could but it was a $30,000 minimum order.

Speaking of cropping, I envisioned this image 4:5 and it worked as intended. However I shot a color image as well and I will be eager to see once I get there, on Portra 160 or Gold 200, can't...

Thanks John for your thoughts. I was playing around with cropping but as you've alluded it seems like the full square works. I've made a few prints from my square images so I think this one will be...

This isn't a very sharp shot but that's okay, I like the feel of it. I shot it with my Verito because I was doing a soft-focus image, and then wanted to do a sharp shot and the lenses I had with me...

Gabe, these are very nice. It would be interesting to see a larger series of head-on, very symmetrical church interior images like that. I know it can be very difficult to get just right!

Taking a break from developing to make some prints!

These lovely, waxy leaves reflected the sunlight beautifully in a little pond at Tishomingo State Park in Mississippi. The first sheet of 4x5 I exposed on my trip.

If I didn't take a pic of this sign, did I really travel Route 66?? :)

I liked the sun position and the 40mm lens+R25 filter did well here not flaring much.
...

Thanks Vaughn. I'll have to experiment with the printing. This is pretty much a straight scan, but I forgot to mention that I used both an R25 filter and polarizer. I was hoping, and got, a good deep...

I spent most of one day driving along Route 66. Lots to see just off the interstate on "old" 66.

We'll see, they usually fix little nicks from hits but I'm not so sure on the whole thing.

Anyway, I'm back with more images. Each night I'm developing 5 rolls of film in a big tank and then I use...

Oh yeah, so I mentioned my slow leak that I got patched. On the last day driving back I had one more unfortunate event. A minivan about 5-6 car lengths ahead of me I guess hit a rock just right and...

Thanks tuco! Yes it was a bit crazy. I calculated my stats:

7567.3 miles driven
193.98 gallons of gas used
$5.30 average price per gallon
39.01 miles per gallon average

Here's something from...

John - yes! More motion/dynamism in the second image is what I was going for.

I can never resist a good shop window self-portrait. The small area of darkness I could see my reflection in drew me....

Thanks y'all! And yes, I definitely started to compose w/o sky that morning. Glad I brought my 150mm, almost didn't. Sometimes I like a hazy blue sky with pastel colors, so I'll see how the color...
