This series of photographs grew out of the desire to photograph woods in the winter time. It was originally to be titled "The Winter Brush Series". The name was changed to "Sienna Woods" to more accurately describe the subject matter and the subsequent sepia tone later applied to the printing.
Originally the negatives were printed by traditional means in a wet darkroom. The paper of choice was Agfa Multicontrast Classic Matte. That paper was discontinued and in order to continue adding new images to the series, it was necessary to scan all of the negatives and reprint them digitally on archival inkjet media. A new more pleasing tone was chosen by digital means and thus I feel the quality of the new prints and newer images surpasses that of the darkroom prints in both sharpness and tonality.
This work has been shown at the PhotoZone Gallery and the Jacobs Gallery in Eugene, Oregon.
Below are a few of the images from that series which numbers currently well over 50 images and growing.
