[Leica] Darkroom work

[Richard Clompus]

Lluis,  nice to see prints drying in a row.  I miss my darkroom but I always struggled with making consistent quality prints.  If I went back a few weeks later to make another print a gift, it didn’t look the same as the first set.  Sometimes better, sometimes worse but never the same.  Maybe that’s the uniqueness of a real silver gelatin print.  With Lightroom and the Epson P800, consistency is a given - if you make the right edits.

Be well,
Richard
