Vartan's Truck

I rarely visit the galleries but this came up in the thumbnails and it pulled me right in! The tones and the lith look on this print are stunning. Great work sly.

So is this 2nd pass lith? You have a real cool split tone thing going on here, very nice.

I was having a tough time with the current box of Fomabrom. The first lith print through the soup was looking OK, but subsequent ones got blotchier and blotchier. This is my work around. Develop in dektol, bleach and re-develop in Arista lith. It was figuring out how much to overexpose to compensate for the highlights lost to bleaching that was the challenge.

Beautiful tones and texture. I think you got it just right. Nice old Ford truck too - my Father-In-Law had one like that when I was a kid.

Nice. Looks like a pair of eyes from "Cars" at the top!
