About My
Art Prints
Thanks to the improved digital imaging technology
and development of superior materials, all
of my photographic prints are state-of-the-art. I work in
the field with a 4X5 wood field camera, not a digital camera, to produce a transparency
or negative. The transparency or negative is scanned with
a drum scanner to obtain a high-resolution digital file that I can
edit in PhotoShop to dodge, burn, and achieve color and contrast
control.
The Print Process
Color Prints
When I have the image I want, the image file
is exposed directly to Fuji Crystal Archive
photographic paper with a LightJet 5000 digital
printer, using red, green and blue laser beams. While
the images are processed using traditional
photographic chemistry, the results are sharper
and more vibrant than any other method today.
My
color art prints are printed on Fuji Crystal
Archive paper. This
material is recognized as having superior archival
qualities. It
will not fade or discolor for many years if
exhibited under normal display conditions. My color images
are printed at PhotoCraft
Imaging.
Black and White Prints
As with my color photography, my black
and white photographs begin in the field with
a 4X5 wood field camera to produce a negative
or transparency (it is not a digital camera). Then
the transparency or negative is scanned with
a drum scanner to obtain a high-resolution
digital file that I can edit in PhotoShop.
Finally,
the image file is exposed directly to Ilford
Gallery fiber photographic paper (silver gelatin)
using a Durst Lambda printer. My
black and white images are printed at A
and I Photographic and Digital Services.
Archival Prints
My prints, both color and black and white, are mounted
on acid-free rag board and numbered and signed
in pencil on the mount board. Assisted by today’s technology,
I make every effort to guarantee that your
print will give you decades of pleasure.
