Hi!
Last spring I participated in a workshop at the Gladding, McBean terra
cotta foundry in Lincoln, CA. The facility is an amazing piece of
living history--it's been in continuous operation for more than 125
years and supplies many different kinds of terra cotta products
(industrial sewer pipe, artistic building trim, garden pottery, roof
tiles, etc.).
Eight months and one baby baby daughter later I finally have a small
gallery together. The two panoramic shots were taken with a Widelux F6,
but the others were all taken with my Pentax LX and either my SMC-A 28mm
F2.8 or SMC-A 200mm F4 Macro. Everything was shot on color film (Kodak
Portra 400 UC), scanned, the post-processed toned monochrome using a
digital lith workflow that I like.

Stunning quality... If you did not write about LX and lenses I might
mistakenly have thought it was shot with MF gear.
One thing is particularly odd about the presentation... In my Firefox
1.5 RC3 it resizes the raw of thumbs below so that when I was looking at
vertical images I could not see the whole raw of thumbs...
But then again, it is some Java scripting or whatever... What does
matter is the photographs - they are the best I've seen here for quite
some time.
