"My quarantine project has morphed into a series of over seventy assemblies I call 'Reflections' (https://www.flickr.com/photos/dgeugene/albums/72157714291461668). The process is simple: place the starting image on a canvas in Photoshop, duplicate and flip the image horizontally and join it to the first, take that pair, flip vertically and join underneath the first pair. A good result depends on the qualities of the starting image which are all from my files. 

I start with a 30x40 canvas at 225dpi and then reduce it to 24x32 (111Mb) for the final product. Since the original 6Mb is not much enlarged the result has very high resolution as you can see if you follow the link.

A lot of experimentation was involved here. I saw Dan Burkholder’s images online and was intrigued with the look that he achieved. I’ve been printing platinum/palladium since around 2015 and have found it to be a challenging process. Doing this has added a whole new level to the degree of difficulty. First I had to figure out how to make a decent color print on platinum/palladium watercolor paper. I had about six papers to choose from and fount that my favorite platinum paper from Hahnemuhle worked best. I had to create a paper profile for my printer but found that I had to decrease the black output and saturate the colors. Then I discovered that when I created registration marks and made the negative and print with the same size and same registration marks a problem in size resulted. Just the process of printing the color image on the Hahnemuhle paper expanded one millimeter in the long dimension and a tiny bit in the short dimension. I had to remake the negative 1mm longer and about 1/10 mm in the short dimension in order to make the registration close enough. I have yet to prove theories about why this is happening. More to come.

After all that and many wasted sheets of paper, I found that I need to give about 1/2 exposure to the platinum print or everything gets too dark. These three images are the only ones that approach what I’m after.
