The Fine Print

Finally, the fine print has been done. It is presented with a white cardboard frame that enhances the beauty of the photography.

Fred Picker comments that the hard part of making photography is not to shoot the camera or to spend many hours in the darkroom; the hard part is to take the correct decisions in order to get the print that the photographer visualized when the photo was taken.

Fred Picker was involved in manufacturing of 4 x 5 and 8 x 10 large format field cameras. He taught a highly successful photography class known as "The Zone VI Workshop," and authored a book by the same name that has become recognized as the golden standard of photographic instruction. His uncanny sense of "photographer's intuition” and his passion for the art was a unique combination. Always opinionated and oft times controversial, his dedication to large format and black and white photography was unsurpassed.
