From a series called "Graveyard" - a Palladium print.

Imagine our friend's surprise when my wife and I announced we were NOT moving to the country. Rather, we were moving INTO the city. A big-ish city at that! Once here, we have discovered many many great things. These graveyards are pioneer cemetaries. In the midst of a bustling city, these places are oasis of peace and beauty.

The Palladium print process yields one of a kind prints of unique beauty and clarity. Even though this is reproduction art, no two prints can be exactly alike. Indeed, each print is completely unique.

Using drops of "sensitizer" coating solution, I brush the coating onto high quality heavy weight paper, let it dry, then contact print an image by exposing the negative/paper sandwich to ultra violet light.

This image was taken using a new Arca Swiss 4x5 inch field camera and a recent Schneider Xenar 150mm f/5.6 lens mounted in a beautiful #0 Prontor Press shutter, Ilford FP4+ 125 film, and developed in Rodinal 100:1 with extreme minimal agitation.

My Palladium prints are very stable and should last 500+ years unchanged. I mount them on 4 ply museum rag. Due to the unique nature of the process, I am seriously considering showing the entire print, including the rebate edge and coated area. I'm thinking this might help underscore the unique nature of these images.
