After almost a year of work on this project, the exhibition is up! And Candy, my favorite Gallery Director, has earned a shout-out for her encouragement and for hanging a wonderful-looking show. It opens online and in the Gallery tomorrow, with a reception on Saturday from 2-4pm at Color | Ink Studio in Hazel Park.

The pinhole camera adds a unique softness to the images, which enhances these portraits of inanimate objects and helps to give them personality.

I wanted to do something totally different with this project. Using a pinhole camera... for photographs on film... with traditional prints on silver-based paper... creating intimate portraits of old, discarded, and rusty things... mission accomplished!

The print is then placed in a frame. The mat is hinged to the backer with fabric tape to keep it in place. The photo is carefully positioned and attached to the backer with full-view mounting corners, allowing the print to be removed at a later date without damage. The frame is closed up, wired and labeled on the back, and ready to hang.

Once a print is spotted, information about the enlargement is written on the back with a soft pencil. Then the print is titled and signed. I prefer to sign on the back of the print instead of the front of the mat to give the framed print a completely clean look.

More common is a white spot on the print caused by a bit of dust on the negative or from bleaching. It's carefully filled in with dye from a dry spot retouching sheet and applied using a "000" retouching brush until the tone matches. Meticulous work!

Many of the prints need a bit of retouching. If there is a black spot on the print caused by a clear, undeveloped area on the negative, it can be "bleached" with a potassium ferricyanide solution applied by a tiny brush. The print is then re-fixed, re-washed, and ready to be spotted once it's dry.
