A technical note about my photography:

I have been using Leica M and Nikon 35mm cameras. (Both Analog & Digital)The most of my studio work here is done with the Hasselblad middle format system. In the latter part of my Studio days I had two Jobo automatic developing machines. One dedicated to E-6 color process and the other to B&W and C-41 negative processes. I always made my own prints. both color and Black & white. The Kodachrome film was used in my early career whenever the time & deadlines allowed. After my active career I studied and worked with the digital medium, first with various Nikon and latter with that expensive Hasselblad CFV digital back. Digital is “nice” but in my mind does not offer any real advantage now, when we have scanners and Photoshop. The film “is right”- straight out of the camera- and the small variations in density and color balance can easily be worked on in the post process. So I am a dinosaur- love the film… “Long Live The Grain”…
