Early morning at Washington’s Silverdale Waterfront right before the approaching fog.

Boy! I sure like surprises. This image from a roll of 6×4.5 film has been incubating in my fridge since last year and I finally got around developing it.

A Caltech scientist saw us photographing behind the fences. After questioning what was our intent, he let us in and thought the composition would be better if we were a lot closer. He was right!

I still can not get smooth skies on Carbon. I think it’s moisture in the tissue evaporating while under UV. Maybe I’ll throw a fan on it next time.

I finally got to fire up my Jobo – I had a box of Unicolor C-41 chemistry and Fuji Superia 200 roll from Death Valley. I don’t think I’ll do color printing – too involve I think. I like the look of color negative compared to my DSLR outputs.

Well, another assignment from BPX – this print is going to Toronto, Canada. The shot of Pete’s car in Death Valley was taken in January (Pete was a persistent guy).

I used my 1922 Korona with my home made 5×7 to 4×5 reducing back, Kodak TXP 320 film and  Nikkor 180mm lens. I had a few sheets of Arista Edu 8×10 glossy fiber paper left and developed it in dektol then sepia toned. I’m beggining to be comfotable in mounting prints and have no qualms about mounted silver gelatin longevity.

I’m curious what I’ll get from the exchange this time around.
