From the series About Nature: Death Valley Limited Edition of 5 Photograph

PINHOLE PHOTO FINE ART PRINT: THE DESERT IN BLACK AND WHITE I often spend my time making photographs on waterfronts. I don't know exactly what it is I have with water but in this photo there is a total lack of it. I made this image in Death valley in the West of the United States on a extremely hot day in august. Being outside for more then 10 minutes was impossible because of the heat but I managed to make some images anyway. When I exposed the film for about two minutes some F16's flew over and went straight into the mountains you see at the horizon of the image. They made some loopings there and came back and flew over me again. All this together gave the landscape something threatening. This photograph is part of the series About Nature. All the images in the series are showing an aspect of dryness that prevails in the West of the U.S. This print is a digital c-print which is a print that has been exposed using lasers or LED lights. After the exposure the paper is processed in photographic chemicals, pretty much like the old way. The prints are produced with a Lambda Printer. C-prints or lambda prints are known for their realistic appearance and their long-lasting colorfast. The print is numbered, signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. I personally check the print for color, contrast and irregularities before shipping. The image is dibond and diasec mounted. The print is mounted on dibond which is a sandwich of aluminium board with polyethylene in between. The front of the print is glued to the diasec, an acrylic glass. The result is a completely flatmount of the image. The print is also resistent to ultraviolet (UV) light because of the properties of the glass. The print comes with a metal hanging system at the back of the panel, which is smaller than the panel so your print appears to float off the wall. Using the pinhole technique is one of the most authentic ways to record photographic images. The technique is based on the principle of the camera obscura which is centuries old. Basically it? nothing more then a lightproof box with, in the middle of one side, a tiny little hole instead of a lens. The light works its way through the pinhole right into the enclosed room and that is how at the opposite side of the pinhole an image appears which is upside down. We can preserve the image by putting material which is sensitive to light at the side where the image shows up and develop it after exposure.
