There are many ways to make interesting and beautifully printed photographic images.
That diversity is part of what makes photography a member of the fine art community.
These photographs were made using film exposed in a 4x5 field camera.

The goals I have for producing large format prints are the following:

- Accurately and perceptually reproduce color;
- Make archival prints that will hold the color for a long time without fading;
- Render the prints with a minimum of reflection from the print surface.

Because of the wonderful advances in digital and printer technology, I now have the ability to reliably achieve those goals.

As part of the creative process, I scan the 4x5 film; then edit each image and print on high-grade, heavy-weight photo cotton rag paper using UltraChrome inks. This process enables me to
make limited edition prints with a color and tonal range that represents my intent accurately.
In some cases, when I feel the form is more important than color, the image is rendered in sepia tone.

The presentation of these images involves a desire to convey an impression of the subject at least as
much as the literal representation. The elements of composition, texture, pattern and rhythm form the
image structure and are enhanced when displayed with adequate lighting.

To preserve the archival rating of at least one hundred years, the prints should be framed with archival methods and be displayed out of direct sunlight.
