About the Book
After working with the Amazing Friend project (fast exposure but low density negatives), Richard moved onto dealing with the negatives from the one of the latter Dark Space shoots (slow exposure, blurred motion, higher density negatives). In most of these images the window is a source of light and acts as a counter point to the figures, much like the lamps in the Motel Series. The layering of still images used in only 2 of the finished works. Picture crop marks were minimized but presented as a solid color in 8 of the images (a carryover from Amazing Friend). In one case the window was layered lower in the image. Color was introduced to some of the images. The developing marks, drip and dust marks on the negatives were either exploited or removed.
