Digital BW, The Print

Mon Mark, 

You shouldn't have told....but thanks anyway.  

Just so everyone in the eworld knows....I admire your style and your sense of humor...two things of high value and rarity...and a welcome addition to any forum.  

I even like your photographs too.  (understated compliment to contrast with the earlier gushing praise...which is still deserved.)

Regards...sincerely, 

Steadman

  Steadman,

  You know I love you and all. But sometimes a guy just needs his 
  privacy. If'n I told you, it would invalidate so many things that I've 
  said on this list.

  OK...OK...When I see a wall texture, or some rust, or a funky wall, 
  I photograph it straight on. I keep a folder of these hi-rez scans 
  on my hard drive. In this case, I took the image of the barn, and 
  then copied the layer, and then GaussianBlurred it using Darken 
  in the Mode, and then added noise to that layer. Then I took that 
  scan of the rust, or my office wall, or whatever it was, and then 
  added that layer, using SoftLight mode. Then you see what ya 
  got, then you go back in those underlying layers and boost the 
  contrast.

  Then add a TON of magenta to counteract the varnish! And print 
  it on canvas. Someday, I'll get bold enough to work on the image 
  by hand, locally, with a charcoal pencil.

  Then I'll spray it all and call it Archival (yeah, right....). We are 
  quickly leaving the area of photography, and entering 
  printmaking 101, (something I know nothing about).

  PS. If you live in Rochester, come to a lecture that we're giving at 
  RIT tomorrow night at 7pm. There's a show there too with 36 
  prints from my 7000. (Oh, God, the fear of metamerism....)
