Trojan Park - photogravure print - The Weekly Edition

Trojan Park - photogravure print - The Weekly EditionDown the road a bit from my home in Portland Oregon is Trojan Park. It is a quiet place with a beautiful landscape, it is also the former site the the Trojan nuclear power plant build in 1967. The power plant closed in 1993 and the 75 acre site became a public park. I find that history interesting because I remember when the plant was there and all these years later you might never know. This hand pulled photogravure print is made with Charbonnel

This paper is very light and delicate and has a slightly undulating surface

I printed an edition of 8 numbered prints and 2 A/P prints

Time plays a simple role in photography

5x8 platinum print

Matted in a 4 - ply white rag mat size 16x20

I am most often interested in the simplest of things

print is made with Charbonnel F66 Black

5 on an 11x15 sheet

This idea of hand bound books has been flirting with me for the past few years and this summer I have committed to creating the edition

Making these pictures continues to hold my interest

simple beauty is often the best

and I love to eat
