Joshua Tree, Photography and Platinum Printing

So the question is, can you do Platinum prints on location?  Answer.  Yes, we can photograph, make digital negatives, and make Platinum prints all on location. All we needed was an Epson 1430 with Piezo inks and a 8 foot table for the trays. Up at 4AM to catch morning light in the park then back to the condo to make negatives and prints before going back to the park to photograph in the evening light. That left time to work on images in the evening with enough time for the optional sleep period before the 4AM alarm. It was a busy five days but we even got to Box Canyon and to Bombay Beach on the Salton Sea.
Don Messec already has next years workshop listed on his web site http://makingartsafely.com. He also lists the March 2019 Big Island Hawaii photo and Platinum printing workshop. More negatives and prints but but a different location.
