I love your work. There's such beautiful texture and wide latitude in this image. I'm curious as to what scanner you use for your negatives. Do you have any recommendations on types of scanners and software for color and black and white negative work?
Kyle: I use an Epson V700 scanner for scanning my medium and large format negatives. And I have a Microtek 4000tf 35mm scanner for small negatives. I prefer the softward that Epson makes for their scanner -- Epson Scan -- but I make sure I keep the latest version installed. And I use And I use the Silver Fast scanning softward that came with the Microtek. As to working with the images after scanning, I use Photoshop CS4. I'm pretty good at Photoshop (I teach two course of digital photography at Clark U.) but I make it a point to never over process the image to make it seem un-normal (if that's a meaninful term). I strive for the feeling of my experience of being there, not necessarily what was actually there at the moment I make the image.
I have been photographing for more than 50 years first working as supervisor for yearbook and college newspaper. Later I headed the photography department for the News Service at UTAustin. In 1979, I became a Dobie-Paisano Fellow and began to follow a career in freelance and doing my own personal work. My wife's career pulled us out of Texas for the east coast finally winding up in central Massachusetts. Now in my 79th year, I teach both digital and wet darkroom at a small liberal arts university in Worcester, MA.
I shoot these cameras and formats:
----Note: --
I have given up on film. I now have only digital cameras -- the Canon 6D, and a Pentax 645D medium format digital.

Love the horizon line...
Frank, this is a beautiful picture.
This is amazing. the larger clumps of clouds mirroring the tiny clump of sheep below.
I love this photo. From the wide, vast, clumped sky to the tiny orb of sheep, and the hint of wooden fence.

In most of your work, I am there.
And that is what is a good photo.
