Looking at one photograph at a time
Now that I have my Memory Pods photographs framed for the December group show at Fabrik Projects, I am back to working on my Gardening For Ordnance project again.

One of the vexing aspects of printing on the Hahnemuhle Rag Metallic papers is the resulting print does not look exactly like the digital image on a monitor (or what I can share on this photo-blog). For me this is further confounded when I am using some of the Metallic paper as a pseudo mat,... Continue Reading →

In response to my last post, my friend Gerry Clausing sent me his tweaked-out version of the photograph I had featured. He had pushed the color palette well into the hyper warmer colors and essentially make the foreground field an electric orange, "since this project was placed in Orange County" (California).
