We made it out to Shoshone, CA, where we’ve rented a little house while I work on my new series in gravure. Took the Agfa 8×10 to Rhyolite yesterday. It’s great being back in Death Valley…

Gravure, Pueblo No. 1
Technical notes: Agfa 8×10, Schneider 420/240, Efke Print Film in HC110 1:175. Interpositive was made using Efke Print Film in HC110 1:175, exposed on KM-43 plate. I used sepia as the base color, then mixed in variations of black applied using the à la poupée technique.

Two more scans of negatives made at the Pueblo.  Agfa 8×10, Schneider 420/240, Efke Print Film, HC110 1:175, N+.

Scan of negative, Taos Pueblo.  Agfa 8×10, Schneider 420/240, Efke Print Film, HC110 1:175, 7 minutes N-1.

Aiming for an adobe series of 8 before I leave for Death Valley National Park in the spring.  I’m really looking forward to being in my home state again, and my favorite national park.  California, here I come!

Scanned negative from Las Trampas yesterday. Agfa 8×10, Schneider 240/420, Efke Print Film ISO 25, HC110 1:175 for 11 minutes.

The testing phase using traditional film has taken less time than I thought it would.  I’m making test plates today using the ortho interpositives I made yesterday.  I have three interpositives to work with, with slightly different densities.  So far so good.  The bite on the plate is incredibly fine grain.
