Nice one. Thanks for the shot info. Aside from Jim F., I think, there aren't many people posting 14x17 portraits so I was curious. Fascinating (and a zillion more questions). Will this be an ongoing project?

[Jim Fitzgerald]

David, very nice. How are you printing your 14x17?

Thank you Jim. Ilford Multigrade IV Fiber. Here is another image

Ongoing project, yes. Not sure where its going, but I like the path I am on.

Whooops, looks like I posted the same image twice. Try this one...

Nice indeed!

I am slowly getting to a similar space, with similar materials.

I share your hatred of the terrible digital 'representations' we post.

Someday I would like to see these in person, just as I would like to Jim's and Sergei's in person.

Good thing it's a big world so we don't crowd each other!

Meant to say (along with Jim) Tri, Vaughn, and a couple of others have also posted ULF x-ray portraits. Inspiring, guys!

[Tin Can]

Yes, I omitted some great portraitists. My mistake.

My apologies to all.

Thanks Randy, its been quite a journey to get to this point. Here is another portrait

I'm not satisfied with the print yet but I'll get there. This is on 14x17 green x-ray film. Carbon transfer print. Voigtlander Portrait Euryscope Series 6 III. Hope to have a better print to share in the future.
