Shawn this is certainly impressive. I like the dark tonality a lot...the image poses many questions. I like that.

Shawn, you are developing with the pond scum! I think your postings get better every time! This really is a visual treat. Dark and bright, chaos and calm, all at once in a composed manner. Very impressive.

Thanks fellows! I think this will be a rather diverse group of images when all is said and done. Thanks again. Shawn

hey Shawn thomas already said what i felt...these are getting developing into a signifigant work....your scumology will be around for many others to study..I believe this image is my personal favorite ... I believe the real strength will be in the presentation of complete body of work...

I am considering giving/trading you some azo for when you go to make the editioned prints for your portfolio . . . there is something about the tones in a scene like this that I really respond to, and I know how a chloride paper responds to them as well . . . we will see . . .

Thanks fellows! Much appreciated. Rich, we'd have to trade for the sacred grade 3 because these are all developed with enlarging paper in mind. I thought about trying to buy Azo since these are only 4x5 but it's going so damn high... Thanks again fellows! doc

More good work Shawn. The tonal seperation in this example is excellent. It has to be very difficult to portray what you are doing with this series. Keep up the good work and lets see more.
