All, Well, here they are. These are architectural shots taken of a community center a couple of blocks from my house in East Sacramento. I'm going for an edgy, empty, wintery feel with these:

Scanned with an Epson 4870. Converted to black and white with the channel mixer (different level balances for each image). I'm using a "Digital Lith" technique based on the workflow described by Marco Pauck at: http://www.pauck.de/marco/photo/lith/digital_lith/digital_lith.html I'm actually getting very nice prints on my Epson R800 printer. Compared to the prints, the web images maintain some of the feel but lose a lot of the fine crispness that is maintained on paper. Comments and critiques are most welcome. I'm going to start working on another project soon and will probably use my Pentax gear for this one! --Mark
