John Wimberley has been photographing the landscape in black and white since 1969. Since then, he has garnered an international reputation as a master photographer and printer, has had more than sixty exhibitions, and is represented in over five hundred public and private collections. His image, Descending Angel, is one of the best-selling fine-art photographs of the last thirty years.

After seven years of research, John Wimberley published his noted article on WD2D in the October 1977 issue of Petersen’s Photographic magazine. WD2D was the first pyrogallol developer formulated for the modern, post-1950s generation of films, and it sparked a revival of interest in this classic developing agent that continues to the present. WD2D differed from the classic three solution pyrogallol formulae of the past by eliminating the problematical B solution of sodium sulfite, and by adding the developing agent metol to the pyrogallol at a ratio of 1:10 to increase film speed.
