Here's another composition from my last visit to Joshua Tree. A shot of the Ancient Juniper taken facing north with the glow from the city of Twenty Palms. I have decided to embrace the glow instead of complain about it. :)
I have started saturating my photos a little bit more than usual after I made a few test prints on an Epson 9900 using a custom RGB profile. Those photos I selected to print, seems to be a little weak in color based on the sRGB colorspace which has a much smaller color gamut then the AdobeRGB1998 colorspace which is available on most cameras and I was using for my photos. But, if I then convert to the AdobeRGB1998 colorspace from sRGB I reduce the amount of colors that get clipped down during conversion. My wish on the next "first star" will be to have the profile supported by the web changed to AdobeRGB1998, It would make for a brighter more colorful internet.
I would like to take a moment to explain my reduced activity here on Flickr. I work in a prepress/advertising environment which gets crazy busy during the Christmas season, I have been working 12 hr shifts and haven't been able to spend as much time Flickering as I usually do. I will be heading out to shoot saturday night but I have vowed to spend all day Sunday catching up!! Please be patient with my busy schedule. Man am I looking forward to the new year when things usually slow down a little. :)
Thank you for taking the time to visit and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! :) Have a great weekend one and all. :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.

I saw this on eBay and had to have it, loving the big house peeking from behind the trees. My scanner won't do negatives, or at least I don't know how to do it. I took the glass plate to work and another vintage photo lover who works in our prepress department was able to use their equipment to get me a digital image and a 12 x 18 print. Now I'll be on the hunt for more of them :-)
This is a full view of the setup in my garage for the cover shoot for the second edition of our parts catalog. That's me waiting to see if the photographer needs the bike moved, which is also why I am in my stocking feet so as not to mar the paper drape. I purchased two white paper background drapes and taped them together to get a wide enough "infinite" background for the bikes and models. After advertising in the local newspaper want ads we hired two women who were inexperienced models but eager to work with the local "chopper guys". You can see the calendar this session produced here www.flickr.com/photos/45519093@N00/127176550/in/set-72157... John Reddick, our product photographer for the first catalog was also half owner of the advertising agency which placed our magazine and newspaper ads. I had known him and his partner during my 4 years at the local newspaper where I worked as an artist in the retail display advertising department. John and Bill Smith leased space on the third floor of the newspaper where they provided services to both the editorial and advertising departments of the Stockton Record. I had worked with both men closely on many projects at the newspaper and it was a natural fit to turn to them when we needed to begin printing catalogs. In 1976, after I had closed my last motorcycle shop they offered me a job which I accepted. Even with my previous 9 years of advertising work, John mentored me in prepress imaging and halftone reproduction of photographs for offset lithography. He was a master craftsman with many years of trade knowledge, a patient teacher and the man who instilled in me the master/apprentice ethic. After he died several years ago, his daughter offered me his entire catalog of negatives. I accepted her gift and culled these images from his years of work for me and many other local businesses, politicians and community leaders. After removing all the negatives that pertained to my motorcycle shops I donated the remainder of the collection to the Bank of Stockton Photo Archives, a local 142 year old institution with a vast archive of historical images. Scanned from a 37 year old 35mm negative shot by John Reddick in September 1972.

Not my photography. Anyone in the printing trade or in pre-press will recognize this image. It was taken about 20~25 years ago, I think, to serve as a reference image for judging color on pre-press proofs and printing presses. These three paragons of patience sat in Kodak's studio in Rochester while literally hundreds of rolls of Kodachrome went through the camera (probably a motorized Hasselblad). One shot was chosen to be scanned and used in Kodak's various test target files, but the rest were sold as part of a scanner calibration package. I happen to own one of these originals, so I scanned it a few days ago. Unlike Kodak, I scanned it as RGB, so the colors, especially the reds, are somewhat more vibrant than the well-known test file.

I stated that I liked teaching Color and Design more than any other class. (That's like saying which of my children I like the best.) Anyway, I thought about that. I really liked teaching Graphic Design, Calligraphy, Lettering, Color and Design, all the classes that were related that I was responsible for over the years.
I started out as a calligrapher after studying with Lloyd Reynolds, contemporary American writing master. I also freelanced design and prepress production while continuing to do and teach calligraphy.

Newspapers used to shoot page negatives on process cameras (this one has its backlight on for the photo). The full-size litho negatives were then contacted printed on the plates in a plate burner - typically with an cold arc light. This darkroom is at the Arcata Union, in northwestern California.

Dupuis was a high-end photoengraving firm that specialized in taking a photographic negative (Fr. “cliché”) and chemically etching it into a metal printing plate to mass reproduce highly detailed, rich visual images for magazines, books, tourism posters, and ads. In 1944, their mastery of this process was heavily used for sweeping, detailed landscape and cultural features—including features showcasing Egypt.
“Forms and Colors” (Fr. “Formes et couleurs”) was an exceptionally prestigious, luxury French-language art, literary, and culture magazine published between 1939 and 1955. The magazine was launched in 1939 by André Held, a prominent printer and publisher based in Lausanne, Switzerland. Held printed the magazine directly at his family's high-end print shop. In late 1942, Maurice Noël (the founder of the famous “Figaro littéraire”) joined as a Paris-based director. This turned the magazine into a collaborative, Franco-Swiss cultural powerhouse.
Even though it was produced during the shortages of World War II, “Formes et couleurs” gained renown for its uncompromising production value. It featured thick, high-grade paper, stunning color reproductions, and beautifully rendered ads that relied on expert techniques like photogravure. Issue No. 6 of 1944, the monumental year Paris was liberated from Nazi occupation, was dedicated to the theme of “Paris.” It featured early photographs by legendary French street photographer Robert Doisneau, and 16 pages dedicated to high fashion illustrated by René Gruau. Even the ads were treated as works of art. Over its run, the magazine featured works by legends like Hermann Hesse, Jean Cocteau, Albert Camus, Le Corbusier, and Paul Valéry.
As the post-war economy shifted toward fast, mass-market, and cheaper offset printing, the meticulous boutique model of “Formes et couleurs” became financially unsustainable. Traditional photogravure is an incredibly time-consuming and chemically hazardous process. It requires craftsmen to physically expose light onto copper plates and hand-etch them in acid baths. By the late 20th century, commercial photo-engraving workshops either closed down or entirely evolved into digital graphic prepress agencies. If you look at Lausanne today, the city's rich printing heritage is instead carried on by modern digital labs and commercial printers like Graphus Sàrl or Atelier Delachaux.
Neither F. Dupuis & Co. nor the “Formes et couleurs” publication exist today. Both belong strictly to the golden mid-20th-century history of Swiss arts, printing, and publishing.

This is the Vancouver Public Library, the third largest public library in all of Canada. Really a site to see in person, more lovely inside but I didn't have time to stop and take photos of this area as I was a bit rushed. Another time. :)

Everyone should visit GrainEdit.com on Flickr and do a Flickr search on Bradbury Thompson. There are over forty Bradbury Thompson shots and excellent pictures of various copies of Westvaco Inspirations!
Bradbury Thompson was one of the stars of our design heaven back in the 1960's. His work still shines out through time.
Born and raised in Topeka, Kansas, U.S., he developed an early love for books and their design. From his high school days when he worked as a draftsman in a civil engineering firm, through his design work at Washburn University when he was a student, his life was at the drawing board.
He later worked with Steves Printing Co. in Topeka where he learned the prepress, typography and printing processes thoroughly and then worked for a large yearbook publishing company in Topeka for five more years.
He took his portfolio to New York in 1938 where he was hired by Rogers-Kellog-Stillman and on his first day on the new job, was given the Westvaco Inspirations magazine to design. He continued designing it for twenty four years, sixty one issues over time until 1962. I had some issues many years ago but they are lost in time.
Westvaco Inspirations was a very popular publication with graphic designers, and the issues are still relevant to this day.

It all started with the Photo on the far-left- one
I'd captured with a nondescript Panasonic Digital Point & Shoot camera.
In 2007.
BEFORE the tRUMP Building was completed .
From a window 7 stories high.
"Problem" was,I never considered enlarging that image
to 72" in height by 40" in width.
Stupid-Me, showed this image to a client- for use in his Condo's Divider Wall I am creating (and they LOVED IT!!)
and after going through a little PrePress work
(by others) knew I'd be forced to RESHOOT this image.
But now- 16 years later- a new building blocks the view-
my better 1/2 no longer lives in the Condo-7 floors up.
AND- I still don't own an EOS Mark 5 DSLR w/ a tilt-lens.
So- began my journey to get a digitally-correct image,
that I can use to output on a 2nd surface of Acrylic to finish my Project.
Ribbon from the giant flower supply store in downtown Los Angeles...bought it mostly because it looks like that strip that sneaks by sometimes on the bottom of printed materials that indicates CMYK, no?
Here, she helps me with prepress.
"Hey Mimi, should I run this Scout Book one out on the Heidelberg, or two out on the Sakurai?"
"Meow."
