I am now trying to build a "body of work" to burn when I die most likely ;-) I print in the darkroom mainly on RC paper, but also do Cibachrome and colour negs: after my last few trips, I discovered that I could not keep up with all the printing, so I've decided to spend most of my time on b/w. After I've finished FOM2, I will be starting another exciting (for me ) project. More of that a lot later. Mostly I print 10 x 8. But for the walls, I have settled on 12 x 16. I need more time, but I have to fly, its getting late.
