title
Lumen Prints
Subjects have been placed on various black and white darkroom papers and left outdoors for between 12 minutes, and 8 hours - before being scanned, cropped and cleaned up in photo software. No two are alike because of a large number of variables, i.e. time of day, location, exact weather conditions, duration, time of year, etc. The principal factors determining color schemes are the particular paper, the specimen and duration. If the print color of a subject turns out to be the same as the actual subject, it is entirely coincidental. Botanicals from this series were presented to the Royal Photographic Society and I was awarded the coveted "Associate" designation (ARPS) in 2012.

about the photographer
Graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with Honors and a year's studies at Karl August Universitaet, Goettingen, I begin silver printing 35 years ago and studied with many master photographers. Though I've continuously enjoyed having a darkroom, currently it's photograms, solarizations, lumen prints, and lith printing that take me there, and digital for the rest of the work.My work continues to be honored with international awards and exhibitions.
