FYI about the photos in listing: I shot them with my iphone and tried to make them look as good as I could. The prints are nice- not as contrasty. I also made the images monochrome because the color shifts were so weird in the light of my patio. Prints look best in a well-lighted room, just not in direct sunlight. I tend to print a little dark, just a preference of mine!
 
NOTE: the first image in each listing is a scan of the negative - the prints are much richer.
 
Printed in my darkroom on Ilford Multi-grade Fiber, gloss 11x14 paper cut to size
Matted full frame, titled and signed on mat and reverse, including print date and print number. This is the only size available for this image.
 
Mat size is 11x17, which is a standard legal size that will hopefully help getting an affordable frame. Beware of cheap document frames sold online! If you can get to a frame shop or craft store to see them in person it’s a better option.
 
prints available: #4, 5, 6, 7, 8 of 8 made 
 
About the work:
In 2021 I began the series of self-portraits with my Noblex Pro 06/150, which is a medium format swing lens camera. It was not intended for using a timer release which sent me on a crazy goose chase and multiple failed tests to finally get it rigged up with a 100 year old Kodak self-timer. It is not exact, to say the least- I have many photos of me running away from the camera, or coming forward tired of waiting for it to go off.
 
In 2022 I had a solo show at what is now the MixHaus Gallery in Comfort, Texas. Since I print the work in my darkroom, and this format was difficult to print, if I got a successful exposure for one print, I’d try to duplicate it several times. Each print is not exactly the same, but the ones I pulled to number are all as close as I could make them.
