Visitations Along the Big Thompson

Sequence #1
Limited Edition of ten sets
From my "Ramblings," September 20, 1992:
On a very cold, brisk and bright sunny day, September 12, 1992, a short stop along the Big Thompson Canyon, headed for Estes Park, seemed to be the thing to do. During that hour among the heavy rocks, boulders, and rushing waters, I realized what MW had known for years, and that realization and feeling and “knowing” I attribute directly to K.B. and our relationship. For I believe without that, I’d have continued floundering about in photography, not really “knowing” where I was or headed.
Yesterday I made two prints from those negatives; feet in water, and rushing water and rocks along the shore. That evening I cut mats and hinged the prints to them, then attached the mats to mounting boards. I've titled them “Minor White Returns, Sequence #1”. Tonight I made an additional four prints from as many negs. They’ll be sequenced with the first two. It, the Sequence, is my strongest one yet, and I believe, for me, a knowing, which has long eluded me.
My audience is limited for the images are ethereal. From MW’s Visual Communication's class at RIT back in 1962-3 re: audience response – there can be no prediction. Those who see the equivalents see them, those who don’t, don’t.
All prints are six by nine inches centered on eight by ten inch silver-in-gelatin photographic paper. Each print is corner mounted on fourteen by seventeen inch foam core over matted with four-ply Light Impressions Exeter conservation board.
A full, numbered set is priced at $2,400 and includes a black museum presentation box. Single prints at $600.
