Wainwright at Work - 300 dpi files - for publicity only

• 
  CAPTION: Wainwright at work with his camera at the Rocky Hill Meetinghouse in Amesbury, Massachusetts. Ansel Adams often worked from a platform on the roof of his station wagon too.

  CAPTION: Wainwright inspects a print while applying selenium toner, a process made popular by the great black & white photographers of the mid-20th century. Selenium increases the tonal depth of a silver gelatin print, and helps increase the print’s archival characteristics.
