Duality #37

This Duality is courtesy of PBase. Usually I have to think of matches myself, but not this time. You know how PBase posts four of your photos in random order at the bottom of your Profile page? Well, a few days ago these two images showed up side by side. Even though they were in color, I knew I had something. So today I found the originals and finished the process. I've just added it to my Dualities gallery.

The past three days have been spent printing out the Dualities in black & white. Some of the selectively colored ones work in B&W, but others don't. I'm preparing a portfolio to submit to a photography magazine. It will be my first attempt as a photographer to break into the publishing world, but I figure I have nothing to lose. All they can do is say no.

The more I use this printer--the Epson Stylus R2400--the more delighted I am with it. The blacks are deep and rich, and all the tonalities are wonderfully nuanced. Until now I didn't realize that printing is as much a part of the creative process as taking the photo in the first place. These high quality prints are showing subtleties in each duality that I hadn't noticed on my monitor. Some work and others don't. For this reason, a number of my dualities are undergoing change, some in small ways and others quite significantly. I am loving the process! I've always been an editor at heart.

These images just keep getting more and more interesting. This is really unexpected and refreshing work! Well done!

Another unexpected duality, Patricia, and again, if the shapes are matching, each image is also somewhat a negative of the other.
This series is growing nicely, and definitely deserves to be seen.

Superbly done! I should mention that the paper used also makes a big difference... Epson Velvet is great for high contrast images and monotones, but most color images don't work very well on it. (In my experience at least--unless they are either high-contrast or relatively monotone.)
