Digital Darkroom and 8×10 film.
Since I lost my darkroom over 3 years ago, I haven’t been able to produce any work from my 8×10 negatives, but I finally bought an Epson V800 scanner, which is capable of scanning 8×10 film. I scanned 2 negatives:...
Bokeh or Bust
Featured image: Dahlia in full flame-on at Draper Girls Farm in Parkdale, Oregon. I added a little Photoshop PFM to enhance. Within the last few years, I have begun learning the ins and outs of macro photography. I don’t have...
The Historic Columbia River Highway
