Dye Transfer Prints

My dye transfer prints are all made using original Kodak papers and dyes. The paper stock is double- or triple-weight fiber base with an air-dried F surface. The prints have at least 1" of white paper around the image area, and I title and sign the prints in archival ink under the image.

Midnight at the VAB, Cape Canaveral FL -- 1981

(IMPORTANT: LAST PRINT LEFT! SEE NEW PRICES.)
I made this image of the Vehicle Assembly Building the night before the first shuttle launch.

Floodlight Beams over Cape Canaveral -- 1975
Photographed the night before the launch of the Apollo-Soyuz mission, this photograph shows the floodlight beams from the lights used to illuminate the launch pad. The beams pass overhead; as they enter the clear air over the ocean, they seem to cut off in mid-space. A dark image in very deep blues verging on, but never quite reaching, black. (84K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 10" wide by 8" high (image area)

SR-71 Engine Fuel Lines, Museum of Flight, Seattle WA -- 1992

They are available as Ultrachrome digital prints.

Apollo-Soyuz in Floodlights, Cape Canaveral ~ 1975
The Apollo-Soyuz Saturn rocket and its launch pad shine with ghostly brilliance in the floodlights.

Assembly Bay and Gantry, Cape Canaveral -- 1975
This is one of my most popular images. It shows a Saturn assembly area inside the Vehicle Assembly Building, looking almost straight up. The brilliant, strikingly-surreal colors are a combination of the bright color scheme in which the equipment is painted and at least four different kinds of lighting in the building. (300K JPEG)

Available as an Ultrachrome digital print

Purple Gantry, Cape Canaveral -- 1972
Floodlights illuminating Apollo 17 (off-camera left) fill the sky with radiating rays of pale light in purples, blues, and dusky reds. The illuminated gantry glows incandescent in yellows, oranges, and hot reds, all gracefully reflected in the waters spread below the gantry and sky to give this photograph a painterly quality. (181K JPEG)

Available as an Ultrachrome digital print

Saturn V Assembly Well, Cape Canaveral -- 1972
Resembling some abstract geometric construction, this photograph taken straight up into an unoccupied Saturn V assembly bay is composed of concentric, receding circles criss-crossed by strong diagonal structural beams. Red is its single color, accented by blacks, whites, and bands of intense shadow. (236K JPEG)

Available as an Ultrachrome digital print

STS #1 Liftoff: T+8 Seconds, Cape Canaveral -- 1981
Haze softens the early morning sky of the first shuttle launch, reducing the landscape to muted cool tones and colors. As Columbia clears the tower on a brilliant white and yellow flame, billowing clouds of steam and smoke are tinged with subdued yellows, salmons, pinks, and blues, as if illuminated by sunrise. The dusky blue-gray sky and the multi-hued clouds and flame are reflected in the waters below. (116K JPEG)
