Method of Work: Original elements are photographed separately on 4" x 5" Black and White sheet film using a cambo superwide 4" x 5" camera with a 65 mm wide angle lens and occasionally in conjunction with a close up filter.

Process in the Darkroom: This is where the originally photographed
images, some taken years, previous find a fit like so many pieces of a puzzle. To accomplish this the original elements are positioned and contact printed onto a piece of 4" x 5" X-Ray film cut from a sheet of 8" x 10". The light source is from a 16 inch dark florescent, suspended by two bungy cords attached to the main frame of a Bessler enlarger, approx. 18inches from the film plane. The process of exposure is a simple on and off switch. The result is a composite 4" x 5" negative consisting most often of several images.

The Mono-Spertrum Print: Meaning from one too many colors is a
registered trade mark and is the result of scanning separately the final composite image. These images are then colorize in photo-shop as to the artist intentions. The colorize image is then printed onto archival paper using pigmented inks, for longevity. Images are printed top and side borders and greater bottom border, each print is then signed in pencil and thumb printed for authenticity.

Pricing is a result of the measurement of the greatest dimension, and is
in U.S. currency 4-14inch $7.oo per inch. Example a print 10" x 12" inch would
cost multiplying the 12inch x $7.00 = $84.00 dollars. 15-28inch $8.00 per inch, 30-48inch $9.00 per inch.

Category Black and White:
All black and white images are printed by the
artist and are offered in limited edition format of 35 with 10 artist proofs. Sizes are based on standard photographic paper size 16" x 20" and 20" x 24" all images are formatted with borders top and sides and larger on bottom. Prints are on fiber based paper and are archival processed. Prints are penciled signed thumb printed and Edition.

Prices as to paper size: 16" x 20" currency U.S. $295.00, 20" x 24" $395.00

too the Mono-Spectrum Pigmented inks on archival paper, pricing guide lines are the same as the Mono-Spectrum.
