Saw Mill River Parkway, 5x5 Platinotype

Now that I have finally caught up with printing and shipping the prints from my recent print sale, I am able to continue with new work. These photographs are from a recent trip to Westchester. The Sawmill Parkway cuts through a gorgeous swatch of the lower Hudson Valley, creating very interesting scenes that would not normally be visible as the woods suddenly end at the road.

Sawmill Parkway, 5x5 Platinotype

A brief technical note, these are my first true Platinotype prints. My Sicilian prints were all Palladiotypes, printed with Palladium and just a splash of Na2 Platinum as a contrast agent. These prints are 30% Platinum, 70% Palladium, which results in a more neutral tone. I am absolutely in love with this process.
