I was very, very drunk

Can't have been toooo drunk. It's in focus, and there's no need for beer goggles with the subject...

And she looks good sober, too. Great shot, on purpose or not.

Drunk or not you might have been but she looks sober and might be interested in a print! It's very good . Has that high contrast, slightly grainy look reminiscent of photojournalistic shots of maybe 40/50 yrs ago.

In the B&W films they used to make, you're both the main player and narrator and apart from the beginning and end, all the rest is told in flashback.

A bit like the B&W version of DOA(Dead on Arrival) with Edmund O'Brien.

maybe you should shoot drunk more often!

May be we all should go get drunk from time to time?

Blimey, thanks all!

I printed this one mainly because I'm 're-learning' in the darkroom having been without one for the better part of the year, and I figured this somewhat thin negative would be suitably challenging. It wasn't as hard as I'd expected to get a first print though actually, although obviously it needs a fair bit of work.

For one this is definitely one of those photos for which 8x10 gives exactly the wrong crop. I think it needs a bit more on the left to balance it properly.

Crikey man - a pub is one of the better places FOR a camera!

great result for being drunk
