Day O' Darkroom!

Today was a bitter sweet day. I went to Pattersons and got some more stuff, but the downside, Jessica was in Brisbane for chemo when I made my first truely successful print, looks just like the picture in the previous post, Im happy, but sad. On an up beat note, I decided I would do some late night film developing, mixed my own chemicals and whatnot, and the negatives turned out much better looking when I was abandoned by Hudson the first time, but really I guess its just too easy to do it, and I think he did the right then, taught me to really pay attention. Hes a really kick ass boss.


I kept the test sheet for the Gallery Books, Mount Vernon print so I know exactly what it was done at and everything. And I think I will keep a catalogue of them , less hassle in the end. The first print of the Gallery Books will hopefully be mounted and framed for Jessica and shipped soon enough, and hopefully I can get enough money to get a package of some polycontrast 100 sheets.

Im hoping I will be able to make her quite a few nice prints to hang on her wall. All in all a pretty decent day

Thomas, I am brutally confused... are you in Texas, or Australia?!?

Dear Adoniram, I am in Texas.

I think perhaps the amount of time I spend talking to Kiwis and Aussies inevitably confuses me when cities in the States have like names.

Ahh yes, that could always be a reason, I some times confuse people when I talk about a state because they think the US verse AUS when I speak of it
