These images were made with a venerable, and venerated, Hasselblad 500C camera using slightly younger Zeiss C lenses, principally the 50mm Distagon and less frequently the 80mm Planar and 150mm Sonnar. We are old friends.

Early images were made on Ilford FP4 with the later images being made on Ilford and Kodak chromogenic films. The original prints were made using a Heiland Splitgrade system on a Leitz Focomat IIC enlarger.

The majority of the prints were made using Agfa Multicontrast Premium paper developed in Agfa Neutol WA which provides a subtle warm tone to the image.

The images of Gordes and Serrabone were made on Ilford Multigrade Warmtone in
Multigrade developer.
