The Last Bell Factory

INK Magazine, a Connecticut arts/lifestyle publication, has included 5 of my large format images in an article about Bevin Bros., an East Hampton bell factory that has been in the same family since 1832. The images are all 4x5 Tri-X 320, processed in PMK Pyro developer. They are from my ongoing series "The Last Bell Factory in America". There may be other companies making bells as part of a product line, but Bevin Bros. is the only company manufacturing high quality bells as their only product.

Bands will play, flags will fly and hot dogs will pop on the grill, but take a moment or two today to remember the women and men who didn't come home from fighting in far-off lands, as well as those who came back to their loved ones having served a grateful nation.

My image "Bell Factory #3, was accepted into the 28th Annual Connecticut Photography Show at the Shoreline Alliance for the Arts, Guilford, CT. It is from a series on the last bell factory in America, still in business after 177 years.
