I love your door shot. I am torn about how it makes me feel though. In some respects, the strongest emotion I get is one of melancholy, a strong desire to be a child at the Wrightwood cabin again.

The other emotion the picture evokes is one of dreary fear, and I cant decide if the fear is coming from outside the dwelling or from within it.

This duality makes me want to stare at the picture all day long to figure out exactly why Im afraid of it.

Gumoil

This gumoil tutorial has been updated. Please click here  for the updated version. Thanks for visiting ! Gumoil print on Arches Platine, 1:2.5 sensitizer solution, single pass (one and done) print, wiped clean at sink, cleared in sodium metabisulphite (printed area approx. 12"x16") I have been working with the gumoil process for about two and a half years. I was introduced to it during an advanced alternative processes workshop in Santa Fe lead by my friend and go to mentor for all things alt pro, Christopher James. One of Christopher's assistants for the workshop was Cotton Miller, an MFA student at the time, and adjunct professor in the photography program at Lesley University's College of Art and Design. Christopher asked Cotton to teach one of the quick, pop-up style lessons we often get when everyone is settling into whatever they want to work on. I rarely miss one because they frequently introduce me to something I might not consider trying otherwise...

9x17 inches, Arches Platine, 1:3 plus 30% dist. water gum solution, ("green" curve and transparency) (Since I work in several different mediums, I am planning on shifting most of my work with gumoil to a blog devoted entirely to that process. the new blog is called  The Gumoil Blog .) (This gumoil tutorial is an update to the previous one and has new information regarding gum bichromate solutions and transparency types and the custom curves I’ve made for myself for them. I have cut out some of the extraneous blog talk in an effort to be clearer and more concise.) I first heard about the gumoil process in July of 2013. I was introduced to it during an advanced alternative processes workshop led by my friend and go-to mentor for all things alt pro, Christopher James. C hristopher asked Cotton Miller, his assistant for the workshop, to do a quick gumoil demonstration because he had become quite familiar with this elusive process while using it for some of his...

Alternative Camera Assignment

It took me a couple of weeks to find the time to put this work up.  It's just been one assignment after another--busy busy busy.  This one was based on using "alternative cameras".  This was of course an experiment that forces the photographer to consider what he or she is photographing based on what the camera "sees" or how it functions, quirks and all.  God knows I have a plethora of what would be considered alternative cameras because I've been using them extensively for the past few years, but in the spirit of the assignment, I decided to get a new camera--a couple actually.  I loaded each one with films of differing speeds because there is no other way of adjusting for changing light.  One of the quirks that these cameras have concerns framing problems.  It's similar to that of most Diana cameras, where the viewfinder is a little off in relation to what the lens sees.  This camera is WAY off, and as a result, there is too much space to the right of ...
