Refining the Process

Music | Controversy by Prince

A sad day today... Prince, it was reported passed away earlier. No details as of yet. I have my itunes playing everything Prince.

On a 180º sentiment, today is my second day going solo with the Platinum Palladium printing. I am a much more harsher a critic today than I was 2 days ago. I'm on a second round printing the same 2 images I printed the other day. They are visually getting better. I am pleased to see a marked difference.

Round 2... Platinum Palladium

Music | Breathe by Telepopmusik

I had another mini workshop with Susan de Witt to learn some technique to print Platinum Palladium. I was in a much better head space this time as I have been sitting on chemicals here at home with paper and images to print. Now that I think about it, I was in this same position the first time Susan taught me, but this time, things made much more sense. I had pre-cut my Bergger Cot 320 for 4x5 inch negs, but only brought 8x10 inch negs... I ended up going with the flow and came up with this...


I'm totally elated with the test print. I'm still a bit intimidated as this went too easy. First try and an educated guess on exposure and pretty much nailed it.
