Hey, ‘member that print I made of the Joshua Trees in fog? I had it framed and stuff. ‘Member? No? Your life doesn’t revolve around my RUclips videos? Okay, fine. Well, I made a print awhile back and I filmed the process for RUclips. In this video I’ll be making 4 new prints in that same style - pigment prints on Hahnemühle photo rag paper framed in a shadow-box style.
I took these 4 photos in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. They were shot with my Mamiya RZ67 and a 6x6 back on Ilford Delta film pushed 2 stops with a red filter. That means they are f’ing contrasty and grainy. They also have some light leaks for those extra hipster points. These photos are like Johnny Cash - gritty, rough, and dressed in black.
The negatives were scanned on my Epson V750 using an inverted fluid mounting station from betterscanning.com. It creates superior results over regular fluid mounting, but to be honest, I have no idea if that place is still in business. SilverFast Ai Studio ran the scanner and SilverFast HDR handled the processing along with Photoshop and Lightroom. The gorgeous print work was done by my peeps at Pro Photo Connection here in California (www.prophotoconnection.com). They ship all over the place, so give ‘em a try. And the framing was done by the always reliable Salamon Art in Fountain Valley (www.salamonart.com).
If you’re in the San Diego area, visit Harland Brewing Company (www.harlandbeer.com) at 4112 Napier Street to check out these prints in person and enjoy a pint. Hey! Prints and pints! Man I’m coming up with all sorts of cute phrases in this video. By the way, they have a Japanese Lager that is so damn good.
So there you have it. From RZ67 to Ilford film to Hahnemühle paper to frame to rad brewery to your eyeballs. I hope you enjoyed coming along for the process.
Thanks for watching!

My apologies to anyone who received a comment reply from "me" telling you to buy bitcoin or some other nonsense. That wasn't me but some spammer. I'm working on getting their account taken down.
Lol I was a bit confused at first, as this isn't my native language I thought I misunderstood something.
I founded kInd of strange...at first sounded serious but I knew something was wrong...
I was confused by your strange bitcoin advice mate lol 😂
I bought some.
@@paultaylor5513 Too funny.
Any day a new Nick Carver video is released is a good day. You are by far my favourite photographer to watch on youtube!
As ‘they’ say, this!
This! Ditto
I agree
couldn't agree more.
FROM BRAIN TO FRAME!
This is one of his best videos yet.
Totally agree! Great shots great process entertaining yet professional. Nick is so easy to relate too I'd like to go for a beer with him!
@@philhasacamera Me too. I don't watch a lot of this channel. This guy reminds me a little of Steve Mathies. I think Steve was some kind of engineer once. A couple of smart guys who are interesting(well, I guess smart guys just always are interesting). I was thinking I would hand deliver those. No shipping, no matter how much insurance.
yes..
This video reminds me of Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
I've cancelled my Wednesday appointment with my shrink. This is all the therapy I need for the week.
Does it get more satisfying than that... Just one successful set like that would make all the wondering before it meaningless. But what's most important and under appreciated is the vision and conceptualization that grew out of a simple desert search.
Lol. Man that is the plot to every home renovation show on HGTV. Start with a simple project and end up rebuilding half the house.
Yo Nick, you're something else. The OG. The granddaddy purp. The man, the myth, the legend. Photography doesn't get much more inspiring than seeing you get excited about your craft. Giving me the urge to go shoot right now. Thank you for your hard work putting these long vids together. Props.
Haha - love it. Thanks, my friend.
From brain to frame. Brilliant!
The quality of storytelling is off the charts here. Seeing something so thoroughly through to completion is a pure joy to watch.
I will be honest, at the beginning of your video I did connect with these pictures, the main reason is that I am not a big fan of cactus, but when I saw them framed and hanged! Wow, I was astonished! You clearly did an amazing job. Great video too and good luck with these house problems of yours.
I agree 100% about printing. you have to print! They don't have to be fine art quality, you just need to be able to touch them. I develop and scan my 35mm and 120 using Negative Supply gear and my Sony A7Riii. Then I convert and edit them with Negative Lab Pro and Lightroom/Photoshop. I also print the digital stuff I like. I go through my edits once every couple of months, pick my favorites, and submit an order to Mpix. Most everything is standard 4x6 for my personal photo albums.
It's such a great feeling to see my photos in albums, and my friends, family, and clients like it too. Don't just relegate your work to Instagram. Print!
There’s few ‘insta-click’ channels on RUclips for me; this is one of them - great video.
Be proud man - they look great.
Photography - digital or analog - is useless without printing.
New @NickCarver and @GrainyDays videos on THE SAME DAY? The universe is lining up, people.
Who thinks this man should have his own TV show? I would be all in!
@@wylie_photo just imagine what nick could do with a real tv series budget. 😀
Always willing to wait, for as long as it takes, until Nick brings us another gem. My day: made.
I got emotional when I saw the prints on the brewery’s wall. You captured so well the essence of creating art in your video. Thank you for your mastery of the art of storytelling.
Thank you 🙏🏼
And here I was thinking I was the only one.
As a neuroscientist I love the "brain-to-frame" concept. Pure genius.
Great video like always. This past weekend I received my first print of a remodeled theater here in West Texas, the Ector Theater. I will honestly say that having it on print creates such a unique sensation about the photo, I stared at it for a good while, absorbing the image, remembering the time I took that photo, the satisfaction I felt when I received the print… it’s priceless. Now it’s on a frame on my desk at work. I feel bad to say that I have it on a cheap frame I got from Hobby Lobby. after watching this video, I will definitely invest in a professional frame, the Theater deserves it… my photo deserves it.
You can always tell who's a photographer looking at prints. They are the only ones who go right up to a print to look at the detail. Another great video.
Today is a good day
Sounds like a new series: from brain to frame
Nick - I just re-re-re-watched this video-. Boy you are so right about this "brain-to-frame" thing. Besides, your ocotillo shots are genius. When the US opens its border again next month, I will load my camera gear into my Jeep and no desert scenery in the West will be safe again! And if this goes well, maybe I will visit that brewery in San Diego just to gaze at your prints (and sample some of their brews!). I can't wait.
Yeah, even small prints are worth experiencing. I send a small print (11,5cm x 11,5cm) every month to my patrons and they've told me how magical it was for them to hold them. I sometimes call these prints postcards because they're similar in size and I write a short text on the back but even without said text, there's something special about a printed photograph. Especially these days, when so many are not.
Printing… so important! I’m “only” a digital photographer, but get the same completion joy for the prints I choose to frame..
Love this channel! Thanks Nick.
I have a super small 4x6 printer and even seeing my stuff printed to that size has completely changed my view of my own work. I love printing my stuff now, its fun!
This is it. From 0 to finished framed piece of art. Hard , expensive but satisfying as hell work.
I tend to queue up a bunch of vids and watch/listen to them at 2X speed, except when Nick uploads...I return the speed back to normal and simply enjoy...
The closing sequence is a touching masterpiece for anyone who is in love
with his craft. Thanks for that.
Thank you, my friend.
I love it - "From Brain to Frame"
I too know the “brain to frame” feeling and it certainly is a feeling of accomplishment.
Nick Carver updated new videos, Warriors won the game, what a day.
A picture of a bush in the desert with a light leak. A throw-away photo for most photographers, yet you made a work of art out of it. WOW. I will have to visit the brewery and give your art a toast. Very cool storytelling journey.
Thank you, sir!
Another Gem of an episode 👍
Prints looked Great as a series of four or Five.
And Great on the wall
Float framing is Cool 👌
Great video of an artist at work with all of the picky details and insanity it takes to get a final product like what Nick produced here. But... from about 28:00 on that's about the finest explanation of what I feel when I see something I shot hanging on a wall. Why I keep banging away. Why I sit on the floor and stare at the work when I see the finished product. Wow. I couldn't (and haven't) ever expressed it as articulately or well myself. Thanks for the how-to, but even more, thanks for the thoughts.
Cheers to you and your amazing work Nick! Thank you for the inspiration.
Awesome as always. Worth waiting on for sure.
Its just remarkable, that everytime I watch a video of this men I feel new emotions for photography!
Thanks nick! :)
Great seeing the "ordinary" guy behind you. Takes a lot to show things you're not satisfied with in the midst of the social media area where everything has to be perfect. Its refreshing Nick! As always a pleasure. And keep em coming!
Thank you. I appreciate that.
congratulations! these prints in their frame look simply fantastic, excellent job!
From brain to frame. That is perfect. That is exactly how I feel when I produce my work. Great video...again.
One of my favorite videos ❤️thank you🙌
Awesome Nick! Those look fantastic!
That is one FINE collection of framed art!
Some photographer that lives in KSAN, "might" just show up, loupe in hand. ;) You never know.
My first real job, back in the day, working under that red Pegaus.
Just outstanding. Loved to follow this from print to display.
Amazing as usual, Nick. Those prints look awesome.
Nick - absolutely motivating. Thanks.
Love those floating prints, gorgeous
YES cant wait for this one, love the print making aspect of this channel almost as much as the "on location"
Always a great day when there's a new Nick video
Another great video and fabulous prints.
Love the idea of including the film board, so creative.....
You are a brilliant educator, thank you.
Beautiful. Love your work and your Videos
One word Nick. AWSOME.
Really beautiful work Nick. From brain to frame.
I was literally watching your first fine art part 1 video for the upteenth time and then this came up. Thanks for still making these, I look forward to them so much.
Brilliant...Art Masterpieces...well done Nick! Cheers...
Props to your storytelling skills. And of course, the pieces look incredible!
Wonderful experience Nick, congratulations.
One of my favorite
Such a great insight into the amount of attention to detail it takes to produce real art. Fantastic work!
The only person I have turned on notifications for...thanks for the great content!
Wow ... what a great video! I am speechless. Thanks so much for all your effort and dedication.
Very very very nice !! Great shots! Inspiring!
The framed and mounted prints look great! Enjoyed seeing the process you go through to the final print.
Excellent!!! Beautiful pictures, well framed, well exposed!
You’re a unique talent Nick. Your vids are exemplary.
Awesome Nick!! 🙏
Thanks for another excellent video. Its hard to believe its six years since the original image was taken.
Such nostalgia, Nick! Joshua Tree was one of the first videos I watched from you. Always admired your work, man.
Its amazing how Nick and his videos rise my enthusiasm to higher levels each time. Great work, amigo.
And this video for me especially. Do you know the channel adventure and art? Its too a very inspiring, motivating and mysterious vibe Ben is creating in his videos.
This made my day. I think i can speak for all of your fans, that even if it takes a bit longer for the next video of yours to come out. It is always worth the wait. Thank you so much for your work and showing it to us all.
Fantastic video Nick. I've probably enjoyed this more than any other. Nice to see something from concept to conclusion, and see the pride on your face. Job well done mate.
They're timeless Nick. These will look awesome in 200 years from now - true artist 👌🏼
Your artful video capture and production here are testament to love you display for your craft, and the joy you bring to clients and the fortunate fans who follow you. Thanks Nick.
A fantastic video. Thank you for taking us along on the journey from "Brain to Frame". Hoping your garage and office reorg goes smoothly.
You deserve all the accolades for such wonderful work Nick. Simply awesome 😎👌
Nick I will say it again, you are a true artist. Your eye for detail is amazing.
You’re one talented man. Appreciate your work.
Class! That half hour went by very quickly. Great video, fantastic prints.
Beautiful craftsmanship and a very inspirational video. Please keep preserving our times with your awesome photographs.
Thank you Mr. Carver all the way from Norway.
Those prints look beautiful.
It's so satisfying when I get my prints back from the photo lab, I feel like a kid on Christmas
Beautiful inspirational work Nick! I have only printed a couple of my images but I could really feel your excitement when you opened these prints up!
So cool! Gorgeous end-product. That feeling at the end is so good, you described it perfectly. Also, I was cracking up with the way you 'evaluated' the resolution print. Thanks for the great content as always.
Super inspiring Nick! Thank you for this golden nugget of a video!
I just want to let you know that every time you drop a new video is a great day!
Hot damn! He's back! My man.
Nick - it was great seeing the prints on the wall at the end. Great stuff!
I was at Harland Brewing in San Diego. I looked at Nick's photos. The photos are really great. Good job. They look great on the wall. Thanks, Nick
Nick these are absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing the process.
Thank you for watching!
Great video Nick, always excited to get your notifications for a new video. I really felt your excitement when unwrapping your prints. I haven't sold any large framed prints since lockdown a year ago. You have released my creative juices to the point that I am about to start making smaller framed prints for my own walls and family or friends (or sell).
You are an inspiration, sir. Thank you.
Brilliant Nick...love the passion..
Hi Nick, the prints look awesome and they are a perfect match for that wall. Your attention to details is really remarkable and I love that.
Totally agree on what you say about printing, I do as much as I can.
Nick! What a great video! Informative, entertaining, relaxing. And most importantly, inspirational….I love that floating print look and will try it myself with some recent darkroom prints. Thanks for your great work and congrats on your amazing prints now on display at the brewery!
Really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for the video.
