Last night I was able to get in the darkroom to make some prints. I really needed it as I have not been able to do much lately, a lot of work going on and also finishing the little details before the show opening this coming June 13. But oh well, got there, made 2 photos (the ones shared here) and I am a happy camper for a while.
A little about these images.
The one on top is of the Waubeka Button Factory in the town of Waubeka, on the Milwaukee River. It is one of my favorite buildings in the area which I have photographed several times with different formats. In order to make this one, I got in the river wearing some waders, in order to get this angle, which so far it is to me the best angle to show the place in this season, this meaning from the river itself, since it is a tricky building to photograph, as it is set on a drop and surrounded by a lot of vegetation.
Talking about different angles, the one below is of the Port Washington Breakwater Pierhead Beacon, which I photographed from the recently open (last year) Coal Dock Park in Port, which does offer another perspective of the place which I share here through this photo.
Both photos have been toned by sitting on black coffee for 2 hours as I try different "environmentally friendly" ways of toning.
