Schuylkill

Taken this spring; Philadelphia, looking north from the Chestnut St. bridge. Gold toned kallitype on Arches HP 140#. Shot with a Widelux FV and Delta 3200, developed with Perceptol.

This gold toning is about the third reuse of 250mL of gold toner #2, toned with the same batch of toner as yesterday’s print. Development was identical between the two. The color has shifted slightly warmer and is still very effective at both preserving the print (replacing silver with gold) and changing …[more]

alleyway

So while I’m working on getting my printing lab back in usable shape (and developing the remainder of the film that’s down there, damaged from the flood or not) I’ve started going through some of this digital debris that’s piling up on my hard drive. Nothing like the lack of a darkroom to sway one away from film. Hopefully just for a short while…

While flipping through what I’ve got, this one jumped out at me. I might actually miss something about the quality of digital shots. Huh.< ...[more]

Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day 2011

Made with a homemade matchbox pinhole camera, shot on Acros 100, and developed in DD-X. Almost all of my shots were terribly over-exposed, which I find rather unbelievable but undeniable. Next year I’ll need a faster shutter. Which is to say finger-over-the-pinhole. 🙂

Jefferson Memorial

I’m traveling for a conference this week, which means I haven’t been able to work on Kallitypes. I had a good breakthrough just before I left (in fact, 60 minutes before I left, which left me just enough time to sensitize/expose/develop 4 test Kallitypes and bring them with me) and I’m dying to get back to them! Which was at least some of why I saw this particular shot at the Jefferson Memorial last evening. The tonality really caught my eye.

In other news, I apparently labeled a roll …[more]

Hard Lines and Chilly Softness

Acros 100; Xtol.

The deep blankets of snow on everything remind me of a bit of Dickenson:

Snow beneath whose chilly softness
Some that never lay
Make their first Repose this Winter
I admonish Thee

Blanket Wealthier the Neighbor
We so new bestow
Than thine acclimated Creature
Wilt Thou, Austere Snow?

Through the rain, the house stood.

HP5+, EI 800. This was during the “Month Of Many Floods,” also known as “Jorj Almost Builds An Ark But Instead Digs A Sump Pit.” While it’s not actually my house in this shot the title still seemed appropriate…

Leaving Skye

Still posting shots from Scotland – this one is of the bridge that leaves Skye (on left) for the mainland (right).

Inveraray

I still have a dozen from Scotland waiting for final processing and uploading… and now I’m out of hard drive space. Been performing the unending juggle of photos onto new disks for the umpteenth time which is slowing me down…

Anywho: Inveraray again. I really loved this little town on Loch Fyne. I have a few more shots from and around Inveraray and then a few from the highlands that I’ll be posting.

ZO

Driving through New Mexico with the family, the geometry of the shadows and circular entrance to this building grabbed me.
