Palladium Portfolio

This past semester, I took a class at O.C. called Expressive Photography. I didn't know much about it, other than that it was a requirement for my degree. So I was pretty shocked when they rolled out the view cameras for us to check out. They look similar to this:

Yano, the whole gettin under the dark cloth, puttin giant negatives in and pullin out the slide to expose. Wasn't all that excited in the beginning, but it really grew on me in 4 months. I was sad to give "the beast" back last week.

With these big negatives, we contact-printed them in a process called Palladium. It's a really long and tedious printing process, but it's extremely rewarding. I honestly don't think I've ever seen anything like it. There's just something about it that is absolutely incredible and interesting. I chose to keep the edges and the spots and lines for viewing on here because I really prefer it and think it makes things just a little more interesting. And authentic :)
