My first real experience with the photographic process began in high school when I started working with a 4x5 Graflex. I learned to load sheet film, shoot, develop negatives and print photos for the school newspaper and yearbook. I worked with color slides while living and working in Mexico where I did ethnographic photography to illustrate my research. There is little “forgiveness” in exposure or composition with slides. While I used color negative film for much of my personal work, I found that giving up processing and printing to a lab removed me from the final product: the print. With digital photography, I found myself once again engaged in the entire process, from composition, to processing the image, to printing the resulting photographs.
