*UPDATE on book*

Sorry for not updating my blog recently but I have been in a state of flux.  I have made my way back to Massachusetts and am currently working on updating my actual site.  The books that I proposed to make had a few set backs.  One being that the Moab paper I was using (Entrada Bright White) was mis-coated.  The other paper that I had purchased to counter this was Moab Kayenta (similar but cheaper).  This paper prints beautifully but folds like a nightmare, making it unsuitable for tiny hand-made books.  I still plan on making this book but it will not be until atleast September.

In other news I am currently photographing for my grant project and that has been going rather smoothly.  Updates will be coming throughout the summer once I begin to scan the film.

Imacon vs. Epson v-750

So here is a direct comparison between an Imacon flextight III and an Epson v-750 with a Better Scanning tray.  This is the same 4x5 color negative scanned at 2040 (max dpi on Imacon) and 2400 dpi on the Epson.  The Imacon is to the left and the Epson is to the right.  Ten grand definitely gives you less noise and a cleaner scan.

James Perkins...Breaking down the family tree

This past summer I had the chance to go to the Penobscot Marine Museum to look over some 600 glass plates made by my (wait for it) great, great, great uncle, Captain James Perkins.  He was a boat captain at the turn of the Century, but also was an avid photographer.  Here are a few of my favorite images from the collection. Turns out we share similar aesthetics, which I find very fascinating.  He photographed with a 4x5, 5x7, and 6x8 view camera using glass plates.
