This past fall I participated in a project through Photographic Center Northwest with King Co Metro. The project: create a photographic body of work to be printed on 8' x 2' wood panels which are then installed in bus shelters throughout King County for up to 8 - 10 years. I submitted black& white images there were taken behind the scenes at WA state rodeos the summer of 2006. The film scanning process was a long and tedious one as I needed to obtain a high enough resolution to print at the size needed. Also, I needed to take into account their appearance on wood and how the grain will show through giving them a warm, painterly effect. In the end King Co. choose 2 of my images: Ride and Spur.
