I’ve been working on the Watershed collection<\/a>\u00a0since 2001 – large beautiful prints of a little creek in Chelsea that happens to run behind our home. I’ve now followed it about 14 km with panoramic, medium and large format film equipment – capturing the very different facets of the waterway and the interrelationships with everything that it’s connected to.<\/p>\n

It’s been a long project. Much of the work is hanging in an exhibition space at Ottawa International Airport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recently, as many of you know, I built an 8×10 large format camera<\/a>. And I’ve started taking it out to the Watershed. It’s a lot of work – the new camera (including tripod) weighs about almost 14kg (approx 30 pounds) but the results are beautiful.<\/p>\n

The whole point of an 8×10 camera is the beauty of enormous prints attributable to the large piece of film capturing every scrap of detail.<\/p>\n

I’ve been using the camera in a different way. I am putting light sensitive paper (instead of traditional film) in the camera.
\nQuoi?<\/em><\/p>\n

The ‘film’ I place in the camera is the final product that hangs on your wall.
\nEach photo is an original.<\/em><\/p>\n

Also, there is NO post processing or darkroom manipulation to correct or enhance. The finished art comes straight from the camera and is a test of my camera skills and a showcase of my preferences at time of shooting.<\/p>\n

I love it.<\/p>\n

Interested in the art work?
\nLet me know…<\/a><\/p>\n
