I am really happy with how this working print turned out. I’ve been putting in time with the goal of becoming more confident and able in the darkroom. I feel like that effort is paying off.

I’m so sad I wasn’t able to go to this opening. I really want to come see the show. Are there open viewing hours? It looks fantastic, and very excited about the work you all are doing.

The first portrait I made of a young fighter. Jose is a pro boxer in Tucson, AZ.

I remember loving one of your negatives. A Joshua tree, maybe? Looking forward to seeing what comes of the Lone Pine work.

Seems fine either way, whatever works for you process. I like full frame because I compose for the full large format negative. But I’m not bothered at all by cropping. Many amazing images are heavily cropped. It doesn’t change how powerful they are. In fact, in some cases it contributes to it.

Hey, friends. I’m a photographer based in Tucson. I work with large format and alternative processes.
I’m working on a few sustained projects right now. Here’s one favorite image I made last year, from a series of portraits of young men:

Some photobook publishing houses that accept submissions:
Mack Books (UK)
Radius (US)
Rust (Poland/Germany)

You might also submit the project to an open call publishing award. I wrote short guide about publishers that host them - it’s paywalled, but I’m open to sending it. Love your work.
