"The Door, Taos, New Mexico"

Prints use archival inks (Epson Ultrachrome) on canvas from digitally enlarged Polaroid SX-70® prints. The original SX-70images are hand manipulated at time of the photograph's exposure. There are no digital enhancments, no "Photoshopping" to alter the original image's expressionistic and impressionistic appearance.

Images are considered as "alternative process photographs."

This is but a sampling of the hundreds of images in the portfolio in this style, started in the late fall of 1979 and continuing to the present.

Sizes: Approximately 24"x24" on canvas

Scanographs :: Giclee Prints

"After the Storm"

Prints use archival inks (Epson Ultrachrome) on archival matte paper. These extremely high resolution and detailed photographs are created from an "alternative" digital - but still photographic - process.

Appearing much like large-format photography (which might use 4x5 or 8x10 inch negatives,) these images are unique assemblies of the object-forms made at time of the photograph's exposure. There is some digital rework (dust-spotting, plus the background (or "atmospheric") additions and slight color corrections made to the original digital file to enhance the surreal aspect of the image's content and appearance. These images are printed at roughly 1:1 (life) size - and could be enlarged to several feet per side due to the nature of their extremely high resolution and clarity.

Images are considered as "alternative process photographs." There are several images in the portfolio of this style of photographic exploration, which started, for Kipp, in summer of 2005.

Sizes: *Approximately 13"x19," on archival quality matte paper
