Darkroom Day

Company has come and gone, garden has been taken care of, chores done, so now I am going back into the darkroom! My goal is to print negatives that were either my favorites or ones that have never been printed before. I want to increase my inventory on hand so that I have photographic images to 'select' from for upcoming months and shows.

Yesterday I did stop by the local acrylic shop (Tap Plastics). I'm looking for another way to display my matted smaller prints. Currently they are in baskets, which is okay, but if I had them displayed in a 'clear' container it wouldn't take away from the image itself, and hopefully draw in the eyes of the beholders! Well, can you believe they wanted almost $100 for two silly acrylic boxes!!??! I received a much lower quote from the display company for glass boxes! She said it takes them almost an hour to make a box! Well, something is wrong right there! My husband and I worked on an acrylic reptile cage for my son and it was huge!! It wasn't THAT hard.

Getting back in the darkroom is the plan for today and I'll let you know how everything goes!
