I've mostly lurked here since last fall because I've been pursuing a sabbatical project in digital printing. I've learned a lot by doing so, and some of that knowledge has now been put to use. I am truly indebted to all on the list.
I've just put the finishing touches on an exhibition of 31 Piezo BW prints now on display through March 1 at the Gallery at Newbury College in Brookline, near Boston MA, USA. I work primarily with the natural landscape as raw subject matter, using 4 x 5 and 5 x 7 formats. I depart from tradition by making two negatives of each scene, reversing one, aligning the pair and printing them as a sandwich. The results can be startlingly different from the original. Imagine Minor White making Rorshach inkblots (clue: he did:-) Printing the work conventionally always entailed complex masking and contrast control. Scanning to Photoshop affords me much greater control, flexibility, and consistency. The negatives were scanned on a Scitex Eversmart (5x7s) and a humble Epson 2450 (less of a step down than one might expect) and printed with an 1160/CIS Austin Franklin sold me on 13 x 19 Photo Rag. There are also two 22 x 30 prints made on a 7000 at the Cone workshop. I have a .pdf of the announcement card, but I'm not sure if I can post it to the list as an attachment. Email me directly if you would like a copy, or any other information. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
