Gerard Geuss, "Desolation Ridge"
Batavia, New York, United States
Batavia, New York, United States
"Due to limited snow melt and resulting low water levels, I was able to get this photo of Akron Falls in Akron NY from a midstream vantage point. The winter-bare vegetation and limited flow gives an atypically bleak view of the falls and the ridge over which it flows."
"I made this 4x5 inch, 5.5 focal length pinhole camera from a Roger Foote design in the autumn of 2014. For this photo I made a sixty-second exposure using hand-coated traditional Japanese Washi paper. The resulting negative was contact printed and scanned. Thanks again, Mr. Z."
