Grandma

Photographed is my 95 year old grandma this summer at an annual family party, which is held in memoriam of a relative who past too soon. I came back to printing after an absence of 13 years. It sure took me a while to settle upon a process to ensure me the most pleasure (i.e., film stock/dev, paper/dev, toning, condenser v diffusion enlarging, etc). Parked upon (for now) Multigrade IV matte and then toned a bit in gold (T26) to give just a subtle hint of blue (and archive it). Also - thanks Thomas B and Mark F for all your great advice in getting me get back up to speed as a printer again!
