Sepia-toned photograph

This image is part of a project called “The Life and Adventures of Emma Russell Photographer of the Old West.”
I just had bought a beautiful old 4 by 5 Graflex camera from Manuel Bravo’s assistant. It used to be his (Manuel Bravo was Mexico’s foremost photographer, the equivalent to Edward Weston.

As I held it in my hands I began thinking of what project I could do with this old-timey classic camera that gave me a nice four by five negative.

I thought what if I was a photographer living in the Southwest in the 1880s? The more I thought about the idea, the more I liked it. Thus, “the Life and Times of Emma Russell photographer of the West was born,” an historical photographic novel.

This is Crow artist Cyrus Gros Ventre and French expressionist painter Jean Claude Gable
