Hi, your work is truly inspiring. I am a very ordinary LF 4×5 photographer and I am struggling to understand the basics of B&W photography. No formal background so it is challenging and that makes it interesting. I am planning to move to 810 as I want to contact print since enlargers for 45 are not available here. But after seeing your work, I am thinking of including carbon printing in the list as well. Your pictures of tress are truly inspiring and I myself went out on a Sunday morning and tried to compose a shot. The picture didn’t turn out that good but the whole experience was amazing. I am not sure how I can share a pic here with you…it would be nice to get your comments.
Hello Raffay
Thank you for your kind comments regarding my carbon prints. I am delighted that my work has perhaps led you to consider carbon. It is a superb process and a real challenge to create something hand crafted.
Please let me see a jpg of your tree image, just copy with a scanner or even just a quick copy shot with digital camera?I will give you my thoughts.
many thanks and please keep in touch

Morning David. Have just today re-experienced your Carbon to Carbon film and am reminded of all the great work you’ve done for me over the years since we first met. I’m finally in a position where I’m able to travel to see you again, pick up the porcelain piece currently in your care, and watch you make magic in the studio.
