PROCESS:
On the Far Side was captured digitally with a Nikon Z7 Mirrorless Camera in 2017 in the Smokey Mountains in North Carolina. The image was post-processed in Adobe Lightroom Classic. Then a digital negative was made of the image using Adobe Photoshop. The digital negative was printed on a sheet of Pictorico transparency film.
The negative was contact-printed on Hahnemühle Platinum Rag paper that was hand-coated with a mixture of platinum and palladium. It was then exposed to ultraviolet light in a UV exposure box, for a predetermined time period. After exposure it was placed in a developer to bring out the latent image left on the paper.
ARTIST BIO/STATEMENT
I am a fine art, contemplative photographer whose photography focuses on the poetry of intimate spaces, both wild and man-made. My work has been strongly influenced by Taoism, Zen Buddhism, Chinese landscape paintings, Chinese poetry and Japanese Haiku. My landscapes explore what I experience as a deep connection with nature and an intimate sense of place. I am always delving into the dichotomy of beauty and loss, since beauty is fleeting and can disappear in the next moment. Since the loss of beauty is implied, the purpose of my photography is to celebrate its gift, no matter how humble or grand. I am a part of the Photographer’s Eye Collective and have been photographing since the 1970’s.
