Fine art photographer Joseph DiSipio shoots only b/w film–mainly Tri-X and Infrared–in 35mm and 120mm formats.   He prints and processes his own work, and most recently has been doing Lith Printing.  (Lith Printing is an alternative process, in which one uses a high contrast Lith film developer rather than an ordinary paper developer.  The outcome is a tone of pink, orange, or brown.  These photographs that you see with ‘color’ are more than likely “Lith Prints”, although some may be sepia or selenium toned.)  

Please feel free to comment on the photographs.  All work is for sale for those with discerning taste.
