Several websites feature his prints. He uses multiple negatives to layer his prints. Very beautiful work.

I'm amazed. Stunned, really. It's gratifying to see that some photographers have kept alive the Pictorialist feel for atmosphere and good composition. I would love to go to a workshop that taught this kind of combination printing.

He uses multiple negatives...Unfortunatley Don is now dead. His prints live on, are beautiful and very much sought after.

Good to bring everyone's attention to his work again, but do a search here to see that many of us found his work some time ago. Beautiful work, I only wish I could have bought his book or a print before they went out of my budget.

I hope many more discover his work from this and other thread's - if you want to see art and photoraphy combined his work is at the very top IMHO.
