Prints

After developing the film by hand, wet darkroom, printing techniques are used to produce an image that strives to maintain an unbroken spirit of connection with the initial experience. Once an artist proof is created, he handcrafts in the same manner a small edition of archivally processed prints, which are then selenium toned for permanence, signed and numbered. With some pieces, he applies color pencil. While consistency within an edition of hand-colored prints is employed to maintain important connections with the image content, some subtle variation is welcomed to make each print unique. The “Logic of the Subconscious” constructions” utilize cutting, pasting, and finally shadow box framing.

All photographs in the “Black and White” portfolios are produced in this manner. The photographs appearing in his “Color Gallery” are all from scanned, color slides or digital captures (dated 2007 or later) and available as prints using the most archival materials available.
