It’s been a while, but I have been working on a new look for the site.
Here is an image from the Torso series. The model is AK.

I participated in Long Shot 2017, the annual fundraiser for Photographic Center Northwest. This image is from the Spring Valley Christian Church, in Hardwick Township, NJ.
While I did shoot with the 8×10 that day, due to a quick turn-around I sent in this digital image for the show. I did do some very nice cell phone panoramic images during the day. There will be more about those later.
Merry Christmas
This was Helen W. on her farm for this year’s image for Longshot. It was a great day. Even had the 8×20 out for a few images.
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.
I participated in Longshot 2015, the annual fundraiser for Photographic Center Northwest. This image of model Lana H. is at Perrines Bridge, Rosendale, NY with the Wallkill River in the background. This was the second time I worked with Lana for a Longshot event.
While I did shoot with the Wisner 8×10 and the 8×20 on this day, I used this medium format image as my contribution for the show.
