I swear I was looking at a Brett Weston image! WOW! BEAUTIFUL! You should post this image into the "Print Exchange" Gallery, because I would love to trade you one of my prints for a print of this image!
Have you tried printing this on AZO yet? Since you shoot 8x10 and make contact prints, I hope you have printed on AZO before.
I`ve never tried Azo, but when I look at the images from some of the photographers on this site my fingers certainly itch to try it. I`ve gone as far as buying the chemicals, paper and U.V. tubes to print Pt/Pd, but I haven`t found the time. I`ll be glad to trade copies of this print. Thanks for the suggestion.
