These frames were taken in a desert town that had obviously seen better times. I rounded the corner to this block, and immediately came to a halt - the subject matter was great, the light was damn near perfect, i shot these four frames knowing they would end up in something good.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
I never hand-colored the print - it was one that was perfect as monochrome, i left it that way.</div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
What could i montage it with?.... Hmmm........</div>

I seem to have found that what makes a montage interesting is to combine two images that are very different, contrasting.</div>

This time round, i went for color - <i>digital</i> color, since the print was on a paper that doesn't take coloring well. And i thought gradients would work well here, and P'shop does *grrrr-eat*gradients.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
I started w/ basic large areas coloring - a HS layer for an overall sepia tone. </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
But i erased the effect from a couple of boarded up windows.</div>

OK, that's a start - what next? The image works horizontally - the edge of town dissolves into the rocky desert. I erased the color selectively from the boarded up windows, one at a time, each time i wanted to continue that idea to the next window.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Then a blue gradient for the sky, that i erased from the buildings, but left in the windows.</div>

Since the image flows from left to right, the small narrow sliver of the building at the left seemed to call for some 'brick' color. And then the tree at lower rt. balanced that, becoming green.</div>

.........and then went full tilt w/ oils. Fortunately this was on Ilford's fiber based matte paper, which takes color very, very well. It speaks for itself, and the much richer result that comes from analog / real colors on real paper, cotton balls and Q-tips. The blending is much subtler. I've spent plenty of time doing digital colorizing, and folks, it just ain't the same. I can't get the same sky blue out of P'shop that i can out of a tube.</div>
