The second 2023 calendar that I printed is called David Thompson County. It is larger than the Fine Art Monochromes calendar that I also printed. This one I don't give away. I printed 20 copies of this one, and kept a couple for myself. The rest are available for purchase at $25 each in the Beehive Artisan Market in Nordegg. I hope they sell soon, as I have to sell them all to break even on the printing cost...!
By about March of a given year, calendars become landfill and have to be significantly discounted to sell.
As I was attempting to put together this calendar, and the other one, I realized that I don't have all that many good winter images. To that end I have made a point of getting out more often this winter with my camera. I'm hopeful that I can print two calendars again next year, and will need more winter images. This shot dates back to 2017. This is a shot of the Ice Bubbles on Abraham Lake, at Preacher's Point. I shot this in January of 2017 with my Ebony view camera and a slightly wide 135mm lens. I used an Orange filter to increase contrast a little, and deepen the value of the sky. The emulsion was the now discontinued Fuji Neopan Acros 4" x 5" sheet film, and it was developed in Rodinal 1:50.
