Adventures in IR-land

In April 2004, I set out on a mini-sabbatical to Ireland, the birthplace of my great-grandparents. I was familiar with the country as I’d been there three times previously, but this time I was on a mission: to photograph the Emerald Isle in large-format digital infrared. It was to be my adventure in IR-land, a double entendre for my surreal walk through the countryside.

As I traveled to Ireland to see what I could get in 14 days, I was accompanied by a newly acquired Better Light 6K-2 digital scan back and lightweight Linhof Standard 4 x 5. My travel plan was simply to go where the Irish winds would take me, shoot images during the daylight hours, eat dinner after twilight, then retire to a bed-and-breakfast or a hotel to download the day’s work onto DVD-R discs, clear my laptop’s hard drive, sleep, and do it all over again the next day.
