PHOTOGRAPHING PEOPLE
Everett York was selling handmade barrels at the Windsor Fair in Maine. I watched him for a while and he didn’t mind me photographing him one bit. I had borrowed a Nikon F3 and a 24mm wide angle lens. I

NORITSU NIRVANA
Scans have been hit or miss for me with 35mm film. The scans I’ve made of 120, 4×5 and 8×10 negatives and transparencies look wonderful. The only way I can describe the problem is that the 35mm scans don’t look

RAFAEL NUNEZ CONTRERAS
I ran into Rafael on my way back to Saltillo from Mazapíl, México. I had spent the day at the Peñasquito gold mine, about 25 kilometers west of the town of Mazapíl in the high desert of Zacatecas state in

TONING
Toning has the ability to completely change a photograph. I used to selenium tone all my gelatin-silver black and white prints. I could never really tell the difference, it’s just what a lot of photographers did. I always struggled with

THE DISTRACTION OF COLOR
I have always leaned towards black and white photography. I’m not sure why, but when an image clicks with me, it’s always in black and white. Black and white was always cheaper than color and when I first became involved

LAKE HAVASU FILL FLASH
I go out to Lake Havasu, Arizona once a year with two friends. Lake Havasu is on the Colorado River between California and Arizona, roughly 100 miles South of Las Vegas, Nevada. Even at the beginning of June it’s blistering

TEXAS RANGERS
I photographed some retired Texas Rangers back in 1990. It’s been almost 20 years since I made the photographs and I really hadn’t done much with the group of images except print one or two negatives. The picture below was

DIGITAL WET DARKROOM
Confusing title? Most of what I photograph and print nowadays is digital. I have so many silver negatives that I like to slowly go through my archives and scan negatives that I want to print digitally. At first, I had

TECHNICAL SIMPLICITY

PRINTING
I’ve always printed my final images. While reading an article recently, I got the impression that because of the internet, web pages and digital imaging, printmaking was losing ground to the computer monitor. I may be wrong but I’ll address
