Civil War test prints

Spent most of yesterday and today in the lab working on my Civil War monuments and statues. Made 15 prints, one panorama eight feet long. Basically, I bring in my color corrected and cleaned up digital files on a portable hard drive. I load those onto the computer at the lab, and then start with a series of test prints. From there, the full sizes are printed. Inevitably, the prints aren't exactly like the images on the monitor, so I adjust the files to get the results I want. The great thing about working here (Color Space Imaging) is that I can be in charge of the whole process from scanning to printing.

Art Presson and Richard Pare at the lab

Also printing today was Richard Pare who currently has an exhibition at MoMA of his photographs of early modern architecture in the former Soviet Union. Art Presson, who is putting together the Civil War exhibit at the Brooklyn Public Library came by to pick up the prints. I think he and I are both pretty happy with the images and the prints.
