Or the experience of working with the beautiful old wooden cameras. I just mean that future negatives in the project will go directly to careful scanning for possible digital printing at enlarged size.Carl Weesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291898089206705608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33929660.post-25580255632836902312010-01-22T14:56:45.522-05:002010-01-22T14:56:45.522-05:00does that imply that future photographs of this ma...does that imply that future photographs of this material may be digital capture?lylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33929660.post-39404423262528681332010-01-21T16:09:20.245-05:002010-01-21T16:09:20.245-05:00Lyle, been busy all day fighting printer clogs (wh...Lyle, been busy all day fighting printer clogs (who says digital photography is quick and easy??). With the DI theaters at this point the digital prints have my attention because I think these subjects benefit from the enlargement available to me working from a scan. I probably feel the same about the White Churches project. But for the pure landscapes, the Steep Rock material or the Southern Mountains or Giles County, or Birch River to Strange Creek pictures, the visualization remains the contact print in Pt/Pd.Carl Weesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291898089206705608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33929660.post-44762888943848578282010-01-20T21:18:18.356-05:002010-01-20T21:18:18.356-05:00sorry, i couldn't resist.

I just spent the last bit of time going back and forth between the new scans and the scans of the pd/pt prints. it is amazing to me what detail I notice immediately in one, then say, 'oh yea, there it is' in the other. they can also have slightly different emotional feels to them as well. Carl, do have a sense, now, looking at a negative, which direction you want to take it?lylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33929660.post-65279517138686933832010-01-20T16:38:09.448-05:002010-01-20T16:38:09.448-05:00Thanks for the link - I just browsed some of the ...Thanks for the link - I just browsed some of the phtots and am thinking what really impresses me most ... it is almost always the photos with these vast empty spaces in front of the screens and I wonder if this could be shown with smaller format cameras. It is not really sad or melancholic but gives me a feeling about how everything is changing. Hard to express - I guess I would even have a problem expressing this in German. But hey, I always have a second or third or fourth look at these empty spaces - says all, hm?Martinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771625000856319335noreply@blogger.com
