Multi-Level History

I currently have the privilege to be working on some of the most incredible photographs I have ever seen. I digitally archive old photographs for a living. This current collection I am working on is a treasure of history and the history of early amateur photography. As an added benefit some are truly art. The early photographer may have left something to be desired technically but he was an artist.

This photo is an example of the history in this collection. The scene here is under water in back of the Dalles Dam on the Columbia River.


This is an example of the art.

I'll have more from this collection in the future.

New Printer

As a print maker I need a good printer. My Epson 1280 died after six years and I purchased a new Epson 1800 today. As an engineer I know that Epson makes a great product - I worked for them for several years. As an artist I know they make a great product in part because of the wonderful media selections they have. Well I have been testing my new 1800 today. I was curious how it would do black and white. The picture above was taken with a Hasselblad about 30 years ago. I had a good 11x14 silver print so it seemed like a good test since I also had a scanned negative. I printed the scanned image - not as good as the silver image but close. I suspect that with a little effort I could make it as good since I did no tweaking in Photoshop. I think Ansel Adams would love the possibilities.
