Early in my photography career, I spent countless hours in the black and white darkroom at The Salt Lake Tribune. I learned from veteran photojournalists who spent decades mastering printing techniques and producing works of art on a daily basis.
I consider myself fortunate, the darkroom was a great place to learn photography. Computers, jpegs and megapixels are amazing, but somedays I miss the darkroom.
These images from Bill and Megan’s wedding at Empire Lodge are digital photos made B+W in photoshop. I only use photoshop techniques that could be reproduced in a darkroom.

Yeah, you’ve got a gift there, Ryan. Really rich tonality. Very classy.
Your black and white images are so elegant. They make me wish I were there. You captured a beautiful wedding.
Love the dancing shot in the road, and the view of the cake..I was going to say great tonality, but then Mitch said it first and I would sound like I was copying, so I’ll take the high road and just say, great tones.
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! My fav is the one of them dancing in the street, gorgeous!
