Limited edition print sale
I have been having a lot of success with palladium printing and I am happy to announce that I am ready to sell a few limited-edition prints from my new series of photographs from Sicily. Each 5×5 print is hand-printed in palladium and limited to an edition of 15. I am keeping the price for this series quite low just to test the waters, but will most likely have to raise the prices in the future because of the high cost of palladium and the amount of work that goes into creating each print.
Pinhole photograph in Prospect Park
I got a chance to try out my new 4×5 pinhole camera in Prospect Park this weekend. I think this is a nice counterpoint to the sharpness of the photos I take with my Hasselblad. It’s also a good complement to the palladium printing process, which lends a soft and dreamy feel.
Field Studies
I have been thinking a lot about generalization in my photographs lately. In the case of landscape photography, the natural tendency is to become focused on specifics; a particular tree, a river, a configuration of stones or stumps. I can spend countless hours looking at a scene and reconfiguring it in my mind into something very composed and clear. I enjoy this process and I have been very happy taking these kinds of photographs.
Altered Landscapes
This is an old favorite (taken in February, 2008) that I’ve reprinted in palladium. I am working on a selection of images for a portfolio review and possible entry in a juried show and I think this might be one of them.
More Palladium Prints
I had a productive weekend in the darkroom. Now that I’ve had a chance to do a whole bunch of prints, I am going to go back and do some fine tuning. I’m also excited to try some larger prints. I’ve been printing at 5×5 so far, which looks great, but I am very curious to see what some of these images would look like at 8×8 and larger.
