DISAPPEARING AMERICA®

TECHNICAL SECTION

Nearly all of the Disappearing America work was made using the
Mamiya RZ-67 camera system. My most frequently used lenses are
the excellent 50mm, 65mm and 250mm APO. In order to get the correct
perspective control on certain images, I use the 75mm PC lens.
Contact Mamiya America for further information.

I have also used a Widelux camera and more recently the 120 mm Noblex camera for panoramic compositions.

I use two films exclusively on this project: Agfapan 400 and Kodak Tri-X.
They are not interchangeable in my mind. Each has
its own unique characteristics that "season" the image
in their own way. I would like to thank Agfa GmbH for the generous
support I've received from them over the last ten years.

I process my films in my own lab using 3 ½ gallon deep tanks.
I use Agfa Rodinal or Kodak T-Max RS depending on the film.

My prints are made using Forté VC papers developed in a
combination of Kodak Selectol Soft and Dektol developers.
