Only in red-black can you write with light, capture a thought and release in through light, time, and temperature on Ilford Deluxe Pearl, 8 by 10. Under baths of dektolstopfixwater, visions appearing first ghostly gain definition. Don't rush, soon enough, in 75-30-120-300 seconds, magic happens. Time ceases when red bathes black, and you'll think this is what life looks like from inside a vein.
I worked as a photographer for the summer in the mountains of western North Carolina, taking over 17,600 pictures in ten weeks. Here are some of my favorites... The color photos are digitals from camp; the B&Ws are the real deal from the last year or so. No question, my heart still belongs to the darkroom.
