Did this a long time ago in my bedroom. It has since come down but at the time it was a fun little project. If I find an image that just seems perfect for this project I might do it again. It’s difficult to make the printed paper look really well done however, possible, just takes extra time and effort.
I took an introduction course to black and white film photography in college at the Craft Center. It was an excellent course and I improved in overall skill and knowledge of using manual on my SLR, composition, development and printing. I started taking a second course the following semester “How to Make Better Pictures” however couldn’t attend for the full semester due to starting a new job. The B&W Introduction course gave me a love of doing the entire process myself from start to finish and an equal respect for digital and film. When I eventually settle down in a location for a long enough I would like to set up a small basic darkroom in my house and also start doing color development which is more complex than just black and white.
Photo is one of the earlier photos I took, developed, printed, and eventually used a 35mm film negative scanner to upload.
