    This image is of ice boats on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, which I took in my early days of home darkroom work (about 30 years ago). I was taking night courses in photography and darkroom techniques at the time. It was also my first Christmas Card. The image was in B&W and after making a print, I did multiple paper negatives of the image, using the previous print for the negative and contact printing them. Each time I flashed the print, in the developer, solarizing the image a little.

    In the Christmas Card I also reinforced the rigging lines. drawing them in on the back of the "negative", as I went from one generation to the other. Regrettably, I am unable to do that in Photo Elements, due to the nature of the line movements.

    I did add the color to this image, due to the lack of finite detail from the old file.

    Hope you enjoy.

    Mark, I really like the composition-has a real graphic appeal! Colors are interesting and I like your choice of border. Very nice work.

    Thanks. It was fun to do and one of the reasons I miss the darkroom of old. Digital is nice, but somethings were just fun.
