Our printing style

Kenny and I discovered early on when making prints, we like to use the entire negative. When setting up a negative, you try to align it for the best composition possible. What we found out is that we did most of that through the view finder of the camera. That is why there are black lines around the prints. We used the ENTIRE negative in making the print. It was something we stumbled upon by accident, and something we felt added that an extra touch to the entire print.

As my father always told me, the three most important rules in photography are "composition, composition, composition."
