This Duality is courtesy of PBase. Usually I have to think of matches myself, but not this time. You know how PBase posts four of your photos in random order at the bottom of your Profile page? Well, a few days ago these two images showed up side by side. Even though they were in color, I knew I had something. So today I found the originals and finished the process. I've just added it to my Dualities gallery.

The past three days have been spent printing out the Dualities in black & white. Some of the selectively colored ones work in B&W, but others don't. I'm preparing a portfolio to submit to a photography magazine. It will be my first attempt as a photographer to break into the publishing world, but I figure I have nothing to lose. All they can do is say no.

The more I use this printer--the Epson Stylus R2400--the more delighted I am with it. The blacks are deep and rich, and all the tonalities are wonderfully nuanced. Until now I didn't realize that printing is as much a part of the creative process as taking the photo in the first place. These high quality prints are showing subtleties in each duality that I hadn't noticed on my monitor. Some work and others don't. For this reason, a number of my dualities are undergoing change, some in small ways and others quite significantly. I am loving the process! I've always been an editor at heart.
