Repost from 2013: Primeval Forest

(originally posted on my old blog in August 2013 https://joelandersonphotography.wordpress.com/2013/08/08/new-photograph-primeval-forest/

This is a new gelatin silver direct contact print taken with the 8×16 film camera.   (For non-photo-geeks, a contact print means the film negative is placed directly against the paper and exposed with the light source, rather than being enlarged. It gives a lot of depth and tone.)   This one is called ‘Primeval Forest’ and is part of the Ancient Forests portfolio project I’ve been working on
