The Lincoln Memorial at night. 4x5 inch contact print. I set up my 1939 Graflex Speed Graphic with 5-inch Kodak Anastigmat lens and exposed a sheet of Tri-X for 30 seconds at f/16.
Gunfight Reenactor and tourists, Tombstone, Arizona. This old dude was having a smoke and touting his Gunfight show in Tombstone, a ghost-town turned Disneyland wannabe in Southern Arizona. Nikon F2, Nikkor 135 lens, Tri-X, print toned in selenium.
Self portrait from the bowsprit of the Brig STS Stavros Niarchos, en route from the Canaries to the Azores. Nikon F2, Nikkor 24 mm lens, Tri-X, no. 25 red filter, self-timer and try to act natural.
Menino no cavolo - boy on horseback. Ilha da Santa Maria, Acores. Taken from the window of a taxi I and other Stavros crewmembers hired for a tour of Santa Maria. One of the smallest islands in the Azores group, Santa Maria's main claim to fame is that it was Columbus' first landfall after encountering the Americas. Nikon F2, Nikkor 24 lens, Tri-X at iso 200.
Cattle from the Coronado Trail, southern Arizona. This 50-mile dirt track just north of the Mexican border crosses two mountain ranges and thousands of acres of ranchland. Nikon F2, Nikkor 135 lens, no. 8 yellow filter, Tri-X at iso 200.
Stubblescape, western New York. This farm is a few miles from my own family's farm in Wyoming County New York. I made this picture early Thanksgiving morning with my 4x5inch Graflex Speed Graphic, 5-inch Kodak Anastigmat lens and no. 8 yellow filter. I exposed a sheet of Tri-X for one second at f/32.
Korean War Memorial. I made this picture in a cold drizzle just as darkness fell. A small remembrance of America's forgotten war. Nikon F2, Nikkor 35 lens, Tri-X at iso 200, f/16.
Sherman Tank, Bouse Arizona. Bouse is a cluster of retiree's trailers in the western Arizona desert, distinguished by this roadside display of WWII armor. Nikon F2, Nikkor 24 lens, no. 25 red filter, Tri-X at iso 200, and burned the sky in the darkroom.
