Film: an Ode 2 Edw Weston, with apologies

[Jim Galli]

ode to Edw Weston​

This is just a first fruit of the '09 Tonopah photographic workshop completed Friday last. I developed LF films most of yesterday and have many to scan.

This was in one of the sheds at the Tonopah Historic Mining Park. Everyone who saw it immediately thought of Edw. Weston's famous shot of the toilet in Rhyolite NV.

Shot on 5X7 with an ancient achromatic meniscus landscape lens. I will soon dazzle you with some sharp photographs. Patience.

I've stopped at that gas station. Ah well, it reminds me of countless gas stations between Ft. Worth and Los Angeles in the 60s. Memories..

Nice image.

Very very smooth... I hope you are going to contact-print this!

Thanks for looking. So many good negs. I've fooled myself into thinking that perhaps in retirement some day I will print until I die. It's a nice thought. I love wet darkroom work, so relaxing. These negs would prove perfect for Pt/Pd. Every couple of years I mix a big batch up. Maybe tomorrow.
