I wanted to make a new Home page and have my website open up to it.  But alas, my template will not allow it.  Might have to change, but in the meantime what I wanted to do on the home page was offer one item for sale each week.  This week it is an old school contact sheet, silver gelatin, single weight paper of two sets of negatives printed together that my daughter Jess and I took in about 1994 with my old Mamiyaflex TLR.  We had a deal:  when I shot a photograph of her, she got to shoot one me.  In this case, I shot a whole roll of her and she shot a whole roll of me. (12 photographs each).  We shot these with the intention of the two rolls going together.  I never made prints from this because I loved the sheet so much.  It shows a little wear and tear because it has been hanging, unmatted on a wall for the last 20+ years.  I have decided to offer it for sale for $200.00, un-matted and unframed.  It is backed on a piece of rag paper 11 x 14 inches and will look lovely framed.  The contact sheet is 8 x 10 inches.  There is only one of these!  And I won’t make another silver gelatin print of it.  If you are interested go to my shop and buy it.  You can pick directly from me and save shipping costs or I am happy to ship it.  You can pay through pay-pal.  This contact sheet is part of the portfolio, Kid Pictures, a 20 year documentation of my daughter and other kids growing up.  Thanks for reading and for your interest.  Help me pay my bills!

Some Weddings Shot with the Pinhole Camera: Thoughts and Images

I shoot weddings with my pinhole camera.  Recently I shot three wonderful weddings of people I know well.  These are not typical wedding photographs.  I generally shoot four images on 4 x 5 color negative film;  the exposures vary with the available light but can be...
