Manhattan Skyline from the Empire State Bldg - 2002
I forgot how simple RC paper is to use, it's almost as easy as using an inkjet printer. And it doesn't curl like the Dead Sea Scrolls! I got Oriental Seagull VC RC and am real happy with it for contact sheets and test prints. I have been using Ilford Multicontrast Fiber for my final prints, but I think I'm going to switch to Seagull Variable contrast. I think the blacks are a little jettier.
I should finally be posting more pictures. I've got a ton of new stuff to print, and I'm shooting regularly. Some of the photos I post might not be my best work, like the Manhattan Skyline shot, but they are of interest for some reason or another. One reason I have this blog is for people who like my work to see how the winning images come about--by shooting lots, printing some and out of that comes 10 - 20 keepers a year. If I print something usually I'll post it in the blog. Much of the stuff I post here doesn't make it into one of the galleries, which I consider finished work or keepers.
