Here's something you don't do every day! I'm making a print of a photo of General George Patton on 13x19 paper. I had recently landed a gig scanning a bunch of 4x5 negs shot by the Signal Corps during WWII. Our local History Center is now organizing a showing of some of the photos and they are having me make the prints. It doesn't get much cooler than this! Photo taken with an Olympus OM-D E-M5 MkII and Konica Hexanon AR 35mm F2.8 lens using a Fotodiox adapter.
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" whihc is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

Inside the Gutenberg museum, we witnessed a short demonstration (in German unfortunately) about the advent of moveable type printing.
My last sign of the day. I came *this* close to not uploading it.
Valliant has a nice, vintage sign on the street front, but the sign in the alley behind the shop just rocks.

Just because Indra mentioned it here:

i have this really old Omega D2 enlarger, that i have realigned through trial and error. IT took me a few weekends to do that. but other than that it's pretty solid and i have almost all accessories for it, including a foot pedal that makes burning and dodging so so much easier...
I have about 5-6 prints to make for my group show in the Contact 2014 festival I hope I can finish the job by the end of April since it takes me one weekend to make a passable print.... I just wish I had had more practice.
Please send good karma my way folks.... thanks much!
This is by far my most viewed photo on Flickr, and almost all of them come from people who have typed "old printing press" in a search engine. I know it has been used on blogs and slide shows a few times, but not nearly often enough to justify the popularity. I find it fascinating that in this age of digital publishing, my most popular photo is one of ancient publishing technology, but I'm getting more and more curious about why so many people look for it. Sadly, I lost the original long ago, or I would have uploaded a bigger version.

My write up on photographing the new Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas here
On the weekend of November 20-21, 2010, I was invited to photograph the new Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas prior to their opening December 15, 2010 in Las Vegas NV.
This set of images represents my efforts that weekend to showcase this newest resort property opening up on the Las Vegas Strip. Thanks to David Scherer from The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas for showing me around, to Miiko Mentz at Katalyst Films for helping to arrange the shoot, and to my wife for modeling for me.

This area worked as both a classroom and museum. There are working presses on the left and antique presses to teach about the history of printing.
