English Cathedrals
by Howard Bond
Howard Bond has contributed more than
100 articles to PHOTO Techniques since 1985, taught workshops from 1975 to 2008, and has made 22 limited edition portfolios of prints. His photographs are in the collections of more than 30 museums in the United States and Europe. Photographs for this cathedral set were made in 2003 and 2008 on T-Max film with a 5x7 Deardorff camera and are printed on Ilford MGFB Warmtone, fully toned in selenium, signed and mounted on archival board. The image title, date, and a stamp of authenticity appear on the back of the print.
