Darkroom Day



Today I was able to stay in my studio without much interruption since my husband went fishing!! I worked on matting and framing a commissioned piece and that took me about an hour and a half, just because I kept getting flecks off the frame onto the matting and it took five tries to finally get it sealed without dust! Eeesh!

Then I mixed up some fresh chemicals as I was all out of Dektol or so I thought. Anyhoo, got that done and proceeded to make my five contact sheets for the film I developed the other day. Looks like I got some great shots of Bodie Ghost Town and Yosemite. I also worked on some digital prints for more cards and 5x7s for the High Hand Gallery.

I wanted to start on the using the copper toner process, but I need a couple more Datatainers to store it in, and possibly one more smaller developing tray just for the toner. I have a feeling it's gonna stain - hence it's own tray.

Here are a couple more pics. One of mountain climbers which is a very stark photo of the granite against the blue sky, and one of the sunset at Bridgeport!
