Kennedy's fine art business is rapidly growing and he works daily, in the darkroom or out shooting. Many days start at 6am and end at 10 or 11 at night but he would never sacrifice any of this time to do something else to support himself. His wife does all the matting and framing and an assistant lives in the guesthouse on the property while their director of sales, marketing, and special projects, takes care of the business end of things.

All of Kennedy's prints are platinum/palladium. The rich warm- toned images, each one made laboriously by hand, are bordered by painterly brush strokes. "I love the color quality and feel of platinum/palladium that I am notable to achieve with silver," he says, "and the fact that my prints are totally handmade means a great deal to me. I coat every sheet of paper that we print on and we mix all our own chemicals. Each print is an individual thing."

Kennedy recalls how when printing silver he could make a hundred prints in a day and know that each one would be satisfactory. With the platinum process if he is able to do 10 prints in a day it's a lot. "I believe there's much mysticism in this process", he says. "Things go wrong and you can't explain why. I try to approach a problem scientifically and often can't find the reason for the problem. Then, all of a sudden the problem disappears. There's magic and karma and spirit involved and that's why I love it so much."
