One of my first prints

I tried to get this scanned print as close to the real thing as possible. I cropped out the white borders since they weren’t clean. I didn’t write down how I exposed this in the enlarger – shame on me, I guess.

Lastly, since this was our first assignment, our teacher hadn’t shown us contrast filters or dodging and burning. Don’t analyze this to death. 🙂

  1. We already know you’ve got the eye and skill. Can’t wait to see what you do to your prints once you have more of the darkroom technique down. It’s a good start. Thanks for putting yourself out there and sharing this. It’ll be fun to follow your progress.
