Nancy Greene Lake, Rossland, BC
morning at the lake around Nancy Greene Provincial Park were often chilly and we typically had some light mist floating on the waters. one morning when we arrived at the lake, the entire lake was socked in with clouds. the visuals that emerged were unlike anything i’d ever photographed before. here are a few framesContinue reading “Nancy Greene Lake, Rossland, BC”
Rossland Salt Prints
here are two images i decided to print yesterday from my trip to Rossland, BC. i wanted to print them in the dark room and chose to do them as salt prints rather than palladium because in some ways, its quick and easy (despite a 20 minute exposure time). the chemistry is simple and theContinue reading “Rossland Salt Prints”
Travelogue – Vancouver, British Columbia
In August 2010 I had the opportunity to travel to Rossland, BC to meet up with some old friends and make some new ones. Our host, Michael Cordiez was instrumental in bringing everyone together including two truly inspirational photographers, Dave Aharonian and Ron Skei. The times we spent talking about our craft and philosophy ofContinue reading “Travelogue – Vancouver, British Columbia”
Your Own Backyard
Sometimes the best opportunities are right outside your door. These shots were taken in the field just outside the house where we’re staying.

We all got up early, Michael (our host), Rhus, Sarah Ellis, and Michael’s photographer friend Doug and headed out to this lake early this morning. RhusContinue reading “Misty Morning, Nancy Reese Provincial Park”

But having a few moments to shoot a few art nudes with Rhus was all I really needed to make me realize how much there there really is to take advantage of here inContinue reading “Rossland, BC – First Imressions”
Photo Mobility
So, I am writing this posting from a bus traveling from New York City back home to Allentown. It’s becoming quite apparent to me that we’re living in a world that is becoming simultaneously more interconnected and more mobile at the same time. The bus I’m riding on has WiFi and I’m connected to myContinue reading “Photo Mobility”
salted paper prints
well after about a full day of curve design and some tweaks this morning, i finally got a curve that produces a fairly linear curve for salted paper prints. the salted paper process was invented by William Henry Fox Talbot, known as The Father of Modern Photography, in 1833 while he was on his honeyContinue reading “salted paper prints”
Palladium Prints
a little while ago i ventured back into the darkroom armed with some new ideas for tweaking my palladium printing techniques. i wasn’t happy with the prints that i’d made before. there were issues with clearing the prints and the density of the blacks wasn’t exactly where i wanted it to be. i’d read onContinue reading “Palladium Prints”
