Painted bark eucalyptus, the Hana Coast, Island of Maui, Hawai
John and I have been working on more scans from my 4×5 film archive. It has been rewarding to finally make use of these images, but also frustrating to see how many good images are languishing in my filing cabinets. I have also been placing new images on my Facebook Fan page. I look forward to your comments here or on the Fan Page!
Enjoy, Bill

John and I continue our efforts to scan film in my files. Here is an old favorite, never scanned or printed before. I must credit Eliot Porter for the inspiration as I first learned of this tree and its amazing bark from a photograph of his.
I am starting to develop an idea for a new portfolio that includes my more abstract details of nature.
The 4×5 film was scanned using my Epson Perfection V750 Pro.
Enjoy, Bill

Dune Pattern and Storm Clouds, Death Valley National Park, California
Dune Pattern and Storm Clouds, Death Valley National Park, California 1983
Photographed in 1983 with a Wista 4×5 Field Camera
Last week, when a client asked me to show him some dune images, my eyes lit up. I happily sent him a selection of jpgs to review. This process got my memory in gear and I recalled a couple of DV images I’d been wanting to scan. I used to make Cibachrome prints of this image, but somehow it has remained languishing and unscanned in my file cabinets.
The 4×5 film was scanned using my Epson Perfection V750 Pro, which gives me excellent results when the film is fluid-mounted.
Enjoy, Bill
