Still Making Due
I’ve been without a darkroom for over a year and a half. My attempt to carve one out of a spare bedroom was foiled by carpet. Gaia and I don’t consider this to be our permeant house, so ripping […]
There is a smaller gorge within the Cokumbia Gorge called the Oneonta Gorge. It’s more of a slot canyon, but we’ll stick with “gorge” for now. I’ll start by saying that I have no pictures of it. Here’s why. The […]

This is from my East Coast trip last Spring. I have a few more rolls of my favorite film, Konica IR 750, which was discontinued in 2006, in my freezer. I shot this roll over nearly a year, choosing each […]
