multiframe no. 17

the Mittens
This image is one of my great frustrations. I originally shot this image at Monument Valley National Park during a trip I made in '99. I had no access to either a 6cm scanner or a color darkroom at the time, but I did have a minilab and access to a flatbed scanner. So I made prints with the minilab, then scanned them on the flatbed, then assembled the image in Photoshop. This was at the same time that I made this image. Since then, at various times, I have lost the original negatives (crisp, beautiful things made with my Rolleiflex), the prints made from them, the zip disk containing the scans made of the prints, and recently, the CD containing the file of this image here. All I have left are a few rather dusty prints.

Apparently, I've got a trip west to make again.

landscape no. 10


I never noticed this before, but the image looks a bit like a stylized skull. Weird.

landscape no. 9


I'm not sure that "landscape" is quite the word for it, but I'm not sure what I would call it, so I'll just let that stand.

multiframe no. 15


This is how no. 14 was supposed to turn out, but with an additional row at the bottom. Actually, I may have shot a row, but didnt use it. I'm not sure, it was a long time ago (the little boy, barely noticable in the lower left panel, is now 23 years old, if that tells you anything).

multi-frame no. 14


New work, shot with the new Canon. No, in case you're wondering, it isnt cross-shaped for Easter. It was supposed to be a nine-panel image, but the corner panels didnt fit right at all, so I dumped them. I refuse, however, to not post this on Good Friday because it's cross-shaped. New work is new work, and I finished this on Thursday.
