Terry King's Lab II

Brilliant !

I guess it's been said many times, but this, and your other similar work is rich in mood and the evocation of a timeless place that is very appealing. Another excellent one, Gene.

A fine print! Those delicate colors are so enjoyable.

Looks great. Looks superbly "understated" which I think must mean the "overstatement" is in terms of the time and effort involved. Such things are usually inversely proportional. "Just as a matter of interest what kind of time period does a work such as this occupy in terms of man-hours?

Thanks

Thanks all for the kind words!

Pentaxuser, a bromoil print in the 8 x 10 size range normally takes me about a half hour in total darkroom time, a couple hours of inking, and then this one, add another two hours for hand coloring - so that's 4 1/2 to 5 hours, give or take. Norman Gryspeerdt, who did no hand coloring, told me he figured on the better part of a day for his 11 x 14 and 16 x 20 bromoils. I have been lucky, on occasions and have completed the inking in 15 minutes - a rarity. On other occasions I have labored over a print for a couple of days, only to overwork it and toss it in the trash!

Cheers,

Gene
