In this new video, I share my journey from preparing for my first road adventure to developing my first batch of 4×5 Ilford FP4 film in the camper. As you’ll see, I created six negatives during this outing, and I’m confident they will all print beautifully. Stay tuned for the next episode, where I’ll make platinum and palladium prints.
I am doing all this for my Pictorial Whispers project. I photograph Missouri’s wild horses using my vintage Graflex large format SLR camera and black-and-white film to create platinum and palladium prints.
