Fine
art black and white
landscape and abstract
photography printed in silver gelatin by award-winning Midwestern artist
photographer, Scott Edwards. Photographs were shot on the Oregon Coast, in the Pacific
Northwest, the
industrial Midwest, rural Wisconsin, and along his 2000 mile
walk from Hilbert Wisconsin through the Great Plains and Desert
Southwest to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Scott works exclusively in black
and white gelatin silver printed from negatives shot with large format and
medium format film cameras, and is a participating artist of Main
Street Art Works co-op in Hilbert, Wisconsin. These fine art
photographs have been exhibited in many fine Wisconsin art galleries and museums and were
featured in the October, 2005 issue of Focus Fine Art Photography Magazine.
Scott Edwards is also the author of “A Long Walk to
the Grand Canyon” which is the true story of his solo journey on foot
from Wisconsin to the Grand Canyon in Arizona - 2046 miles in 122 days with his large format camera and a push cart. He walked from the industrial Midwest, through the Great Plains and across the Desert
Southwest in the torturous summer heat; all in the name of capturing fine art
photographs. The book contains random observations of his walk in addition to
his journal entries and a sampling of photographs. Silver
Gelatin photography has been shown to be archival and many examples of black and
white photography printed over 100 years ago still look fresh. Scott Edwards
takes great pride in hands-on craftsmanship which in wet darkroom processing
results in photographs that present themselves slightly different with each
individual printing, even those from the same negative. Viewing the world
with a different palette helps us appreciate beauty in ways we might
otherwise take for granted. Many find black and white photography to be
introspective and thought provoking. Spend some quality time with black and
white photography at any fine art gallery and see for yourself.
