Smoke Break
I suppose he’s riding for the commute, not for the health benefits. Another shot from the Olympus E-P3. I’m enjoying it as an alternate street photography camera…

Air Guitar
Dim room update: still damp. 75% relative humidity and falling… slowly. This one’s from the new Olympus E-P3, cropped square. I’m liking the 17mm prime with it. Also the Canon…

Time for a Chat
Dim room status: still damp. Perhaps slightly less damp than yesterday. Prognosis: time to post some street photography.

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…

As with the other prints I’ve posted, this doesn’t really translate to digital very well; everything I’ve done to try to bring these online leaves the images somewhat washed out…

Pipers
From 2009’s Jim Thorpe St. Patty’s parade, originally shot on a Canon 5D. This is a 6-layer casein-on-glass print; two layers of each magenta, cyan, and yellow. Visually, I’m happy…

Cinematographer
My friend Simon, reviewing his 16mm negatives as they hang in the back yard. Simon’s family came for a weekend visit – and brought along a Bolex and two 100′…

Sheila of the Gilded Cupid B&B in Jim Thorpe, PA surveying the St. Patty’s Day parade route in 2010. This was originally a digital shot, printed as a casein bichromate…

Marching Ever Onward
Happy Father’s Day! I got three awesome presents today. First, a bowl of radishes from our garden. Yummy, but photographically uninteresting. Second, some sodium citrate and tartaric acid. Yay more…

Nate the Builder
Shot on Delta 3200 in a Mamiya 7, developed in Perceptol. Printed on Arches Aquarelle hot pressed 140# as a kallitype and toned with palladium. From his fifth birthday, our…

Coffee Coffee Coffee #2
I promised this one a few days back and then was distracted by kallitype fun. Perhaps I should have just printed this and killed two birds with one stone! Markus…

Burlesque Nr. 4
Originally a digital shot, this kallitype (on Stonehenge 11×14) is toned with palladium. I suspect that the “pure” table salt that I used in making the toner is not actually…

Burlesque Nr. 3
Mamiya 7, HP5, Microphen, EI around 35000. Yes, another 50-ish minute developing effort – then printed as a gold-toned kallitype. The print picked up more density during the toning than…

Acros 100, developed in… coffee. We’ve had a couple of house guests this week – Johanna (here) and Markus (tomorrow’s post). The two of them have been on a year-long…

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.…

Burlesque Nr. 2
I love it when things just work. From the Jim Thorpe Burlesque Festival: the negative comes from 4 rolls of HP5+, under-exposed at least 3 stops at the Mamiya’s metered…

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…

Burlesque Nr. 1
From the Jim Thorpe Burlesque Festival a few weeks back. I’ve been working on various print techniques this year, one of them being these Kallitypes. It’s been quite a learning…

Alone Under the Trees
I’ve got quite a few shots from the Jim Thorpe Burlesque Festival that I’d like to post… but they’re going to wait for a while, because I really want to…

It’s That Simple
This one takes some explaining; it’s some of what’s been eating up my time for the past few weeks. This shot started life on HP5+ developed in Xtol. I digitally…
