I was gifted this today, it came loaded with around 80 feet of 25 year old Tri-X. I have no empty canisters so I ordered a few reloadable ones this morning.

Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

Your series really captures the other-worldly landscapes 500 meters below sea level. What camera/lens pair did you use?

Thanks for your questions and interest. This color field construction is nine shots of walls, windows, and sidewalks. The illusion of transparency is constructed from opaque colors, so there is no photomontage here--no colors are overlaid on each other. Josef Albers's Interaction of Color and Johannes Itten's The Art of Color are good references on the interplay of color, as I have mentioned before. Both are Bauhaus boys. Color field painting started with Malevich and his "Black Square" in 1913, for the most part, and this lauched abstract expressionism that innovated the art of "objectlessness," as Malevich called it, which became the hub of painting by Pollock, De Kooning, Newman, Still, McLaughlin, Rothko, and others. For my color studies with color being the object of the photograph, I start with shooting color and texture as the main focus. I don't start necessarily with a "point of departure" that Ralph Gibson learned from Dorothea Lange; I am more concerned with a "point of arrival." This is to say, I have my colors--sort of like colors on a painter's palette--colors that are like sensory triggers that in "Albers's interaction" with one another, I arrange having a metaphoric idea in mind, something abstract like the notion of "erasure," which I have used in the past. The study then improvises colors as a visual language, usually keeping textual language out of the game. For a series I did on "barriers," I was interested in trying to construct colors, like that of corten steel, rusting, immoveable, into some visual vernacular that suggested associations of the feeling and concept of "barrier." Of course, I keep coming back to the words and the context of words in their abstract--for barrier, associations with obstacle, protection, preservation, paranoia, threat, safety, insulation, and so forth--so there's the challenge of "not thinking about the polar bear, and yet the only thing you think about is the cursed thing that comes to mind every minute," so aptly recorded by Dostoyevsky.

Once I have my color field photographs, it's a simple Lightroom 6 process of cutting and pasting. Sometimes, it's simply arranging disconnected images into a two-dimensional geography on the page where they speak to one another. Our need for narrative fills the gaps between the images so that seemingly random order becomes meaningful.

Posted here are some edited examples of transparency color field studies.

Did you do a test development if it is already fogged? If not you will have a lot of fun 😉
