Thank you for sharing a nice portrait of someone I feel I've come to know through you. I am pretty sure he would get a kick out of how you've spread out his legacy here at UHH.

Never had the pleasure of meeting this man whose images I long admired. I'm betting you made this image from start to finish, right?

Hi Frank,

This photograph was taken with a Graflex Super D 4x5 SLR camera. I had taken off the regular back and glued a 4x5 Polaroid 55 P/N device into place.

The exposure was made in Wynn's studio one Saturday afternoon with natural light. I do not recall the details of exposure. After pulling the P/N through the rollers and waiting about a minute I separated the negative from the positive and placed the negative immediately in a sodium sulfite solution which I kept in a small white bucket designed solely for that purpose.

When I got home I washed the negative, ran it through a photo-flo solution and hung it to dry. Once dried I placed it in my Omega D-2 4x5 enlarger and printed it. I made 5 prints at 8x10 and one at 11x14. This print, 11x14, was digitized by Creve Coeur Camera of St. Louis. I did further printing adjustments to the print to match the original I had made in 1973.

Thanks for asking,

Jim

I should be banned from putting up photos when I can't even get the right version posted. Still learning how to use this marvelous digital stuff.

Her is the correct version of Wynn. My apologies to all.
