For the West Marin Review #3
Scan of the print I made for publication in an artsy book / magazine.
Duotone (sepia and selenium) on Ilford Multigrade RC paper
Hasselblad 503cw + 50mm lens
This picture is an instance of a mistake paying off. I took this shot with the lightmeter set at ISO400 instead of 100, resulting in my cursing and an underexposed negative. Curiously, the properly exposed shot is not nearly as interesting.
The toning was fraught with problems too. I bleached it a tiny bit, rinsed, put it in the sepia, rinsed, then put it in the selenium. No sooner did I put the print into the second toner than something began to precipitate out, making large dark flakes in the bath. I thought the emulsion was coming off and I whipped it out and into cold water. Phew! Saved, but never to be duplicated.
