Untitled, Salinas, California
I made this image just a few weeks ago. I was not on a photography trip, but rather a utilitarian trip to have some work done on our Ford camper van in the nearby city of Salinas. On the way home I took a slightly different route than normal and noticed an interesting truck at a Salinas Valley farm. I decided to go over and explore the black truck, which had a white sticker on the passenger door. As I approached the truck I noticed an amazing pattern of cracks that had formed over the many years since this sticker must have been applied. I immediately wished I had my view camera with me, but unfortunately I did not. I did make a "happy snap" of the abstract pattern with my iPhone. When I got home and showed the image to Anne she was as excited about it as I was. I mentioned to Anne, "I should go back and make the photograph someday." Anne said to me, "You should go back and make the photograph tomorrow!" Following Anne's admonition, I was back at the truck the next day with my 4x5 view camera. I truly enjoy working with my view camera. I find a sense of calm and quiet in the darkness under my focusing cloth where I am shrouded from the distractions of the external world, and can savor the upside down image on my ground glass. After carefully selecting the area I found most interesting, I focused the 200mm lens critically and compensated for the light loss due to the lens extension needed for such a close-up photograph, and exposed the image. I developed the film the following day. I was very excited by the negative and my excitement intensified when I saw the 4x5" contact proof print. The very next day the negative was in the enlarger and I was printing it. I hope that you enjoy this "hot-off-the-press" image as much as I do. Prints will begin shipping on December 7.
