End of Season Sale: Barbershop Prints!

 Hey folks! Hope the increasingly nice weather has been making its way around, because it seems to have been here in Findlay, OH for quite some time. :)

 As Spring 2012 comes to a close, the final bit of spring cleaning is about to go with it. For a limited time, I'm offerring the remaining half of my solo exhibition "Dapper". The show was a great success, and the matted, mounted prints that are here need to get onto some wallspace ASAP. If you've been waiting for the chance to snag up a print from my Barbershops Series, there's no better chance than now!

Simply check the listing below for size availability, select your desired print, and buy it now. Prints are all hand-printed, B&W silver gelatin fiber prints, selenium toned, matted, and mounted, ready to hang. They are also one-ofs, so once each print is sold, there won't be another of that print at this price. 

Thanks for stopping by, and long live film! :)

Darkroom Daze

Whew! Another day, another step closer to getting the upcoming show ready.

One thing that separates darkroom printing from any modern inkjet equivalent is the extra calibration and control needed to achieve a consistent, cohesive series of images. "Dapper", being my largest solo exhibition to date, I was even surprised just how unprepared I was, for hand printing 30 images of varying size and exposure. In the end, it'll be the quality of the prints that will count, and boy will they have it! All prints are being made on double-weight fiber base silver gealtin paper. After exposure, some requiring some intense dodging and burning, the paper is developed in Kodak Dektol, fixed, washed, selenium toned, and washed again for archival permanence. Another one-up on digital, these prints should see their way through to my nineties, assuming they're cared for reasonably.

When I've got the last round of 8x10's printed and dried, I'll be posting a quick how-to video on selenium toning prints for aesthetic appeal and archival permanence.

P.S. Silver gelatin papers aren't cheap, just check out what they're going for right now! >__<
