Any suggestions? Frank, Thought you gave up photography to be a lawyer????? What a waste...this guy is one of those people who "have it" when it comes to seeing and shooting good photos, of course he probably makes more in a week now than I do all year. :) Shoot Tri-x, develop in UFG (can get it from B&H) and print on AGFA 312...may not be exactly like the 40's but will give you negs and prints like we used to get when you were with the Tennessean and I was with the Daily News Journal. Great contrast with the gritty newsie feel...this is the only combo I care to use on B&W anymore. This past weekend I did two 11x14's of Ashleigh for my wall, the first was shot on Tmax 400 and souped in Tmax developer. The second was on Tri-x in UFG. The trix UFG print just seems to leap off the wall in comparasion. Harrison McClary email: harrison@mcclary.net http://www.mcclary.net preview my book: http://www.volmania.com
