Today we have a studio image of Julia A., and Karen S., from 1995. This was shot in my old studio in Mt. Holly, NJ.
Here is an image of the Hudson River, from Highlands, NY from 1994.
Some memories stay with you over the years. I remember making this image. I wasn’t far off the road and there was a lot of traffic that day. I remember there was this awful smell. I wasn’t sure what it was or where it was coming from.
After I made my exposure and placed the camera back into my truck, I had to take a look around to try to see what was making the smell. I looked over the wall at the side of the road and there was a decomposing deer just over the wall. Most likely hit on the road and tossed over the wall to clear the road.
This is one of my best selling 8×20 images. This image was made as part of One Day in the Life of the Hudson, a shoot and show in 1992/1993 sponsored by the Hudson Highlands Museum, Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY.
This photograph later turned into one of my best selling images at the Robin Rice Gallery, in New York City.
In 1991 I wanted to test out a larger format then the 8×10 that I had been contact printing. So I picked up a Korona 8×20 Banquet Camera. The focusing bed on the Korona was not in great shape, so I pulled the back off the camera and placed it on a Raja 8×10 focusing bed.
The new camera did not fold after the modification but it was solid enough to use. I really didn’t want to spend much money on a format I wasn’t sure I was committed to. Four years later I had fallen head over heals in love with the format and picked up a Wisner 8×20 camera.
This was one of my early adventures out with the Korona/Raja 8×20 camera. There was something about the format that kept drawing me in.
