Heading back to Houston after a visit with Eleanor
Friday, March 15, 2013
The view from the 12th floor...
The issue was the fact that we drove over on the first day of 'Spring Break' and every car on the road was from Texas apparently heading to Florida. For those of you who familiar with the drive from Houston to Baton Rouge, you'll know my frustration when I tell you it took two hours to drive from Lafayette to Baton Rouge a distance of forty miles. When we finally got to New Orleans we found ourselves in the middle of the Italian American parade on the way to the hotel. I had to peal the teacher off the head liner of the car.

Spring has sprung...
With the recent rain and warmer temperature, the azaleas are going to go nuts. This is just the start of gaudy season in Houston.

Where's Len?
It's been too long...well, maybe not long enough.
Since the Grand Tour of the American West with Mr Vestal in October I have in fact been working.
However, it's mostly been in the darkroom. No doubt the result of two stops David and I made during the Grand Tour.
Jan Peiterzak is making some beautiful platinum prints in Santa Fe. They are contact prints from 120 negatives so they are best seen at no more than arm's length. Mark Cetrit and Sherry Hain are also doing some beautiful work with the 4x5. All of with is to say that I'm currently infatuated with the possibility of contact prints in silver.
I had started some 4x5 work a number of years ago but got sidetracked by new digital cameras among other things. I keep coming back to an old expression that I'm sure is nothing by a cynical comment..."If you can't make it good, make it big!"...I've been trying to print some old negatives with new techniques in mind. It seems to be working but it's going to be a while before I have finished prints to post on this blog. Something I learned at Rendezvous 24, show your work in it's best light.
Please be patient.
