An American Chestnut tree photographed in 1951.
"Great things are done by a series of small things brought together." ≈ Vincent Van Gogh "Dead wood by infra-red," working title, a test work-up of one of the earliest infra-red images I've ever seen employed by a photographer. Digital composite image Copyright 2023 Tom Ogburn, most likely to be part or an element of the Hybrid works. Many Thanks to the Clemson University Open Parks Network, a true boon to creatives of all makes and models in the here and now, and of all places, including past and present. 1.3 Million. It takes a LOT of prep, care, set-up and patience to shoot just one large forma ultra. Think about that :) The OPN Archival Librarians have been at this task for just over 13 years! That is the number of scans Clemson University digital archivists have created inside the collection they have built in collaboraion with the National Parks Service. Almost all of those (98%) are now in the Public Domain. I used the archival raw scan to create this digital composite build of the remains of an American Chestnut tree photographed in 1951. Yes, 1951. the next comment in this thread will have the original archive scan in it's raw state.
