This is another one from El Morro, a place I really liked. I was using my Hasselblad 1000F, a camera made in the 1950s. I had a deep orange filter on the lens, which was a 60mm Zeiss Distagon. Ilford Delta 400 processed in xtol. Thanks for your attention.

I posted a few of these shots of a steam locomotive a few days ago. I was using my Hasselblad SWC for this one; my camera was made in the middle 1950s. I am very pleased with how these images worked out. I have started making platinum prints of several of the negatives, including this one. It’s been very personally rewarding to print these images. I’m really enjoying working with the platinum printing process from the 19th century. I really appreciate still being able to do printing by hand. Thanks for your attention

I was at El Morro some months ago. Wonderful place! I was using the Hasselblad 1000F, which was made in the 1950s. I had the Zeiss 60mm Distagon lens on it for this one. I think I was shooting Ilford Delta 400 with an orange filter. I processed the film in Kodak Xtol. Thanks for your attention

I shot this a few weeks ago. Not really sure about sharing it. Sometimes an image doesn’t work well unless it’s presented pretty large, and I think that’s true for this shot. Anyway I made the image with my more portable 8x10 camera, which I assembled from Burke & James parts. Pretty sure I was using a 12 inch lens. I was photographing on the road up to Ski Santa Fe. Ilford HP-5 process in xtol. Thanks for your attention

When I was a commercial photographer some of my favorite jobs included shooting heavy machinery. This machine, unfortunately, broke down in my neighborhood. So, I was able to take the 8X10 camera over to the machine. I used a Dagor 8.25 inch lens and Ilford HP-5 film, processed in xtol. Thanks for your attention
