I took this photo a little over a year ago in Mulegé, Baja California Sur. I'm usually running six months to a year behind on my finished printing. The process goes like this: after developing the film and making contact sheets, I edit and select the negatives I want to print. I then make a bunch of work prints on resin coated paper. The work prints that I like, I keep out on my light table or stick up on the wall by my desk. After a while, if I still feel good about the photo I'll make a nice fiber print. I tone those finished prints with selenium or sepia toner. Finally, I hand color the photograph if coloring works with the subject.
