Ilford Multigrade Warmtone

February 26, 2016 in Commentary

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Ilford Multigrade Warmtone paper. It's probably one of my favorite papers on the market these days. This quick snapshot with a digital camera doesn't do it much justice. In fact, for some reason the camera really picked up on the "sepia" nature of this paper and blew it really out of proportion. It is much more subtle and lovely as opposed to the in-your-face brown tones this images suggests.

Anyway, I just thought I would post this image while I'm taking a break from darkroom work for a few minutes.

I can pull off a cowboy hat sometimes. I like to walk around in a flannel shirt and a ten gallon hat and a camera attached to my hip. All I'm missing is the horse. Evidently my cool factor only goes to 8 and not to 11.

I always find the lighting on the hottest days to be the most difficult to work with. A little bit of persistence always wins the day though, which seems to be my theme lately.

It was colder than we would have liked, and the light was dimmer than I expected, but with a little perseverance we managed to make it all work. Sometimes that is what you've got to do. If that wasn't the case, we probably wouldn't do it all.

More murals on the inner east side of Portland. So much great art on public view for anyone willing to brave the outdoors.

I'm looking forward to that wonderful light of the fall season. Beautifully subdued from every direction.

Looking into the sun on a summer morning. I'm a little surprised I pulled off the exposure here so well.

Evidently I live in a city "under siege". I don't know, looks rather tranquil to me. 

Portland has its share of problems. Drug abuse and homelessness being two very large ones. Federal Troops and ICE aren't going to do a single thing to he
Quick snapshots after going to a movie.

Exposing my film straight into the sun. I wasn't sure this was going to work, but nature was feeling merciful toward me this day.

Feeling the desire lately to really knuckle down and get work done, which is a good state of mind to be in. Thank goodness it is Friday!

East side photo walk around Portland. Still after all these years one of the best ways to collect my thoughts, breath in some real air, and feel connected with where I live.

Just hanging out in Ashland, soaking up the summer sun, eating a lovely breakfast, and doing way too much shopping.

Those who know me in real life are aware that I am a huge movie and film nerd. One of my early gateways into a cinematic world outside the Hollywood norms was of course David Lynch. 

I don't think younger people quite understand what a treat it was
I'm really looking forward to fall. It's probably my favorite time of year to make color photographs and take advantage of the punchy and saturated quality of color negative film.

I'm waiting for the beep of the coffee maker at the moment, i.e. that glorious sound telling me my morning coffee is all ready to be poured in a mug and consumed before the sun comes up. Glory days I tell you, glory days...
