Oban, Scotland - photogravure print - The Weekly Edition

Oban, Scotland - photogravure print - The Weekly EditionIn 2009, I undertook a 3 week photographic commission in Scotland. I had freedom to travel around and make pictures of the landscape and castles. When I think about working in the land my overall feeling is busy. This is why I am drawn to quiet views, simple scenes that bring me comfort when I view the prints. I am revisiting the negatives from this trip, and like in this case printing some for the first time. This edition of prints will is presented

I found this tiny skull one day while photographing outdoors

and an edition of 9 numbered prints and 2 A/P prints

The long rows of columns

This time the camera recorded what I had imagined

this is the first photograph of mine to be included in the collection of a major US museum

0" inches on an 11 x 14" sheet

I do my best to embrace

I realized the other photographer with his long hair and beautiful face

I printed an edition of just 7 numbered prints and 2 A/P prints

This hand-pulled polymer photogravure print by Ray Bidegain is in an edition of 12 numbered prints and 2 A/P prints

I love the process of photography

My friends know me well and I love them for this
