A watershed print

You may be saying 'huh?" I'm probably asking too much of a 98 kb .jpg. Held in my hands this is a print I keep going back to over and over. It has power in it's understatement. The surface of the Kodak Azo E #1 double weight plays with the light to make it look like a rennaissance pencil still life. Old habits are hard if not impossible to break. Ansel taught us that we had to have a range from 0 to 100 blacks and whites in every print. 'taint so.

Hi Jim

I'm sure the jpg doesn't do it justice. The tonality is lovely and you're right you don't have to go from black to white to make a fine image:)
