Making Images

The coast, the sea and the Pacific Northwest have always held a special place for me.  Maybe it was growing up all over the United States but seldom within range of the ocean and never within range of any mountains that made them places I wanted to explore.  I'm really not sure and haven't given it much thought. But they are places I love to be.

Colin Flanary Graham makes images of all three and they are really something I look forward to seeing.  He doesn't post often on his blog but when he does there always seems to be a treasure waiting to view.  He's a large format photographer who built his own camera because the available formats didn't fit his vision.  So he's also a gifted woodworker.  That really makes me jealous.  He's also a carbon printer.  I've never seen a carbon print but from what I've read they are difficult to make and a thing of beauty to see.  

Check out his new work and his about page to see more about his process and technique.  The photo geek in me found it interesting.
