Wonderful project idea! I love oaks. The past couple of weeks I've had to spend most of each day at UC Davis awaiting treatment of a pet at the Vet facility,
which is the best in the world. The arboretum has over a hundred varieties of oaks from all over the world, and the nearby creek still has some very big old
native water oaks. The cork oaks from Spain have esp interesting bark patterns. Carbon is a wonderful media for exhibiting bark texture etc.
An impressive work of love of the art of carbon printing and of the oaks!

Congratulations: that's a great accomplishment. You must be very proud of the achievement.
Yes, I'm proud of the accomplishment. I'm still in disbelief really that I was able to do this. I learned many new skills which will be great for other projects I have in mind.
Vaughn, we spend a few days together in Yosemite over the years but none more important than the day we spent on the steps of the Ansel Adams Gallery where I saw my first carbon print and was hooked. Thank you so much for that day.
Also, a favorite part of my book is the acknowledgement page.
Wow Jim! Just wow!! What a great endeavor. And a great achievement. Congratulations.
David thank you.
Congratulations Jim this is a major accomplishment! As a carbon printer I can appreciate how difficult this project must have been. I hope I get a chance to see one of these books in person one day.
Best,
Jason
Jason, thanks. Your work on the gallery wall looks beautiful btw! Yes, any serious carbon printer will understand the difficulties.
Jim,
Your book is an one-of-a-kind treasure. When I look at the book, I appreciate not only the beautiful images but the craftmanship and your superb attention to details. You put your heart into it and it shows. It is not only an art book but an autobiography of your love of photography. Well done! You should be proud.
