Introduction The black and white photographs exhibited here are all made traditionally with film and 'wet' darkroom processing. The cameras include a Mamiya C220, and now a C330, a Pentax 67, and a Shen-Hao 4x5 field camera. Most of these photographs were made with Ilford Delta 100 film, and some were made with Kodak Tri-X film (320 or 400 depending on format). All were either developed in Ilford's ID11 1:1, or Kodak's D76 1:1, and most were printed on Ilford MGIV fiber base paper. Some of these are print scans, and some are negative scans because the prints were larger than I could fit on the Epson 3200 and V750 Pro scanners. All images posted here are protected by copyright.

Interests I've enjoyed photography since early childhood when I was given entre into my dad's darkroom. The magic of that experience has stayed with me since. Though I have great regard for the skill and artistry needed to work with digital imaging, I doubt I will ever go that route. Traditional processes matter as much as does the image for me. I prefer film.
