Rain, Pain and Dark limits my strolling.

Dark in the morning a slow start.

Often it is 3:00 before all the meds food settle. More often the sun doesn’t shine.

Today with Football at 10 am and Tiger being back. Well it was a slow start. The kitchen window didn’t start the show till 3:45 so I wandered all the way to the window with my 105 mm and shot.

When you have finished manipulation? Do you ever finish manipulation when is the piece finished? When is it Art?

Manipulation isn’t new this image is a study of a pregnant women. Shot on 35mm film at ISO 1600 to gain more grain and texture. It was then printed onto a sheet of 4×5 film giving me a positive image, then contact printed on to a 4×5 sheet of litho film [high contrast film used in the printing industry]this film sees just Black and White and adds more texture and grain. Many steps that I decided on while shooting the original negative in very contrasty studio light. When did it become Photographic Art?

What are your thoughts? When Does an image become Art? peace pjc
