I ran across some images from when I was starting my Anatomy of a Weekend series. Initially I was determined to stick to traditional analog photography to produce the work. I contact printed individual 4×5 negatives, arranged the resulting prints into compositions and then photographed the arrangements again to make the final print. I had to do some retouching directly on the negatives to get rid of some shadows and imperfections. The final prints lost some detail and wound up being too high contrast for my liking. These first three images are the jumping off point back in 2011, and the images below are the of the finished and installed work.
