I had been at this place once before in the wintertime and the subject seemed to lend itself to large format black and white. Meaning film– 4×5″ sheet film. I like to dust off the camera from time to time, shoot, process and print in a darkroom. And everything. There is something about using the equipment, the sound of a mechanical shutter- it’s real- and it makes you more conscious of what else is real, and what may not be so real. And the images contain more detail than you can shake a stick at. Yes, far more than a DSLR camera. The ice at this waterfall builds up all winter long and becomes an intimidating yet beautiful wall that can last until June.
