Tangerini’s Sandia Mountains photo inspired me to locate this image… The last time I worked this negative I made an analog 16x20 Print (Kodak Ultra - N surface) which I had intended to frame and hang in my office.
Upon arriving at the frame shop, I took the photograph out of the box, and placed on the counter by the mat samples. As I turned to set the box down on the floor to clear some counter space, another customer walks up beside me and stood a framed picture, on its corner, right smack in the middle of the print. Let’s just say that I was highly displeased after observing the two inch gash which was introduced by his carelessness.
Ironically enough, I never, ever, make just one copy of anything I print, but this time, due to time pressure, that’s exactly what happened. Photo was never printed again…My attempts at printing with our Epson 2200 don’t begin to capture the colors I was able to reproduce with the Enlarger/RA4 process.
Oh, as a side note. I read where a Color Lab Cooperative is opening on the East side of Atlanta. They have a 31’ Kreonite Processor which is the same type I used to print this picture. The enlargers available will allow for any format up to, and including, 4X5. I can send a link to their homepage if anyone is interested.
Thanks for viewing/reading
