    I am currently Scanning, Editing and Printing several hundred 35 mm

    shots from the mid 1980's. All on Pentax K1000, Ilford Pan F

    developed in Rodinol/FG7/Sulphite cocktail. Practiced Zone system

    with the extremely modest 35 mm format attempting to emulate works of

    the "big boys". This was very difficult with print quality maxed out

    at about 8x10. However, modern digital scanning, editing and printing

    brings us a bit closer to the ideal. These are my first few, re-

    processed todate and printed at 13x19. Composition has been framed

    around a barebones, simplistic, head-on approach to capture the

    isolation and solitude of the northern prairies, while exposing to

    seek the fullest black and white tonal range. A motivating theme

    comes from Patrick White, "...with the grandeur of true simplicity",

    The Tree of Man, page 1. I have recently upgraded to a Pentax 645,

    and in retirement hope to continue the project. Further travel is

    required since the locations of many of these shots are now covered

    with estates of half a million dollar homes. I look forward to

    critiques, advice and encouragement for the future from those more

    gifted than myself. Thank you.
