This print got the warm toned treatment, developed in the citrate developer, then palladium toned. Such decisions are based upon a personal choice of expression, for the image. Uniformity of any portfolio, or group of print images was never a thing for me. Each image has a visual dynamic, and that dynamic gets interpreted and treated as the printer sees it, is inspired by it. But you knew that.
This print was developed in sodium citrate, then palladium toned, all in the effort of realizing an image of warm tones. This image derives from Kodak Gold color negatives, and after thirty years of time stored in an envelope, begins some reticulation on the film's surface, leaving a sight textural quality in the image. The images scanned from black & white negatives remain in pristine condition. The reticulation isn't sufficient to detract from the finished image though, hence the printing.
