Fern photogram using Van Dyke brown printing process

This Bromoil image is of children searching for newts alongside a pond. I felt that the scene demanded an interpretation that was not necessarily clear to the viewer, after all, the piece is titled Discovery. Kodak’s infrared film fulfilled this requirement perfectly, resulting in an ethereal image that can be interpreted in many ways. More images can be found at GLSmyth.com

In this Bromoil print I gave emphasis to the sun and the boat, which was frozen in the ice. The original print has no practical detail in the shadow areas, which makes sense since I was shooting into the sun and capturing silhouettes. However, since Bromoil offers a grainy, ethereal effect, this lack of detail does not result in large black globs that distract from the subject at hand. More images can be found at GLSmyth.com

Going back literally thousands of years, this is very probably the grave site of an important figure of the time. Wales offers many glimpses into the distant past with graves such as this and standing stones. As an American, I am completely awed by such things, as our recorded history only goes back several hundred years. To see something that was created thousands of years in the past and still existing much as it had probably been created is absolutely awesome. This Bromoil print attempts to capture this sense of awe. More images can be found at GLSmyth.com

On the day this image was taken my girlfriend, her sister, and I had taken a hike on the Aran Islands in the gentle rain, meandering along a path without a clue as to where we would be going. We reached the end of the path, which was the other side of the island, and ate the lunch we had brought with us. By the time we finished the rain had stopped and I took this picture, which was printed using the Bromoil process. More images can be found at GLSmyth.com

This particular Bromoil image was taken of my daughter a number of years ago. I always liked the picture and felt that it was one of the better ones I took of her, but the original was rather harsh. The Bromoil process helped remove the harshness of image and replace it with a representation more fitting. More images can be found at GLSmyth.com

My image “Not Open” showed the building, this Bromoil entry shows one of the building’s windows. Two sad lamps tell the story, along with the discarded Styrofoam cup, old telephone, and No Trespassing sign. Could these lamps actually have been for sale, or were they simply used for illumination while the store’s contents was being removed? More images can be found at GLSmyth.com

There are few places in the world like Wales. The history goes back literally thousands of years, and standing stones are a testament to this. The purpose of these large stones placed vertically in the ground is not known, but they may mark burial sites. This print was created using the Bromoil process.

A number of years ago I had the opportunity to spend quite a bit of time on a farm, photographing anything that I might have felt to be interesting. I took the typical photographs one would normally take, and then I came upon a barn. The barn was very interesting, but the most compelling focus for me was a set of three windows. The more I looked at them, the more questions I had. Why were there three windows in this location? Why are they all set at different heights? Why is the middle one so close to the ground? Why are they so close together? I never asked these questions because I decided that answers might make the questions less intriguing. Printing this as a Bromoil image helps offer additional mystery, and allows one to either come to their own conclusions, or not. More images can be found at GLSmyth.com

cyanotype and brown printing on vintage police fingerprint cards. Original 4×5 negatives created with a vintage Graflex Speed Graphic press camera. (for those interested, a cyanotype is a print made by hand painting the solution directly onto paper, contact printing the negative by exposing it to sunlight and developing it in water. It is the ‘greenest’ of all photographic processes.)
