Gallery 45 - the Gallery

First, I am still reviewing negatives/images, scanning and printing. This gallery will grow over the next few months, so please come back.

So far the gallery is broken into 4 sections (with more to come), the sections are:

This old house sequence. I have a “thing” for old falling apart homes, I enjoy working in them and placing a model or two in the various rooms. This is a series of three building we found. Most of the builds were in public places, so we had to work quick. Most of the images were created with a 4x5 camera and TMAX-100 film.

The doorway. There was this doorway in an abandoned house in Grafton Utah. I found the neatest scratched names in the brick around the doorway and wood floors. There was sunlight coming through the doorway and lots of people walking around. The images are taken with a 4x5, which I find will intimate some people when they see the camera. Christine kept moving into the doorway to model between visitors. We would shoot; someone would walk come up the stairs, Christine would hide naked around the wall, they would see the camera, the visitor would ask “are you taking a picture”, I would reply “just about to”, they would quick leave and Christine would head back into the doorway. Took several hours to expose 10 to 15 sheets of film. As the light was starting to change and more people arrived, so we headed to a different location. We were planning to return to that location the next day, but darning lunch we found a handout at a restraint describing a 15K run that was to terminate there. So much for that idea.

Wave Sequence. It just happened, caught me by surprise and was totally unplanned. But it was one of those sequences, we can now laugh about when we look at the pictures. All shot in 35mm Infrared. It was Christine's first time modeling and we almost lost her, literally. But up she came a few seconds later!

Just Christine. Just a few Images from our little adventure and some of my favorites. Shot with 4x5, Pentax 6x7 and some 35.

The Infrared exposures. In the past, I exposed a lot of Infrared film, but never really printed it until now. I use an Imacon 646 scanner and Photoshop to process the images. These are some of the Infrared images from our adventures. Mostly 35mm Kodak Infrared shot with my Nikon F3.

The Selections. I scanned over 206 negatives and picked the images above for the show. There are thousands of negatives which were not scanned and at least 5 pages of nighties missing, plus another 3 that I just found. Please take some time to look over the negative selection. All scanning was done with a Imacon 646 scanner. There is no order to this gallery, just how I found the negatives and scanned them.
