Ditto. The problem isn't finding a print now, but deciding which one to mail out

The first time I have EVER had that problem!

Okay, You folks who have your stuff in the mail already make me sick. I still can't decide on a Neg. There is something wrong with each one I have shot for this.

Maybe I can get a good one over the Thanksgiving break.

I just haven't had the time to make a print yet! GRRR!!! I have to try and do this over the weekend. Forget Christmas shopping - there will be way too many people out anyway!

I have the paper coated, the negative picked out, but I want to wait and see what the latest round of 4x5's I have shot yield. I will have them printed by the end of this weekend. (I say this with my fingers firmly crossed behind my back.)

BTW I received Gerhards print yesterday, WOW. I'm with Alan and Mark I am really out of my league. I hope by doing this I can pick up some good pointers from the experts. What I received when I was taught this process can be written on a 4x6 note card. The rest was self taught.

John,

Not in the least! I just stopped by your web site, and your Distortion series is fantastic. I love the concept AND the execution!

I've been having good light for printing the last few days so I am ready to print mine tomorrow. The working prints I did today turned out nice so I think I should have my final prints in the mail sometime next week...

I received Carl's print today, a pt/pd print of the Minster Church in Kent, England: (there was a url link here which no longer exists) (a very good scan, in my opinion). It's an absolutely beautiful image and printed to showcase the strengths of pt/pd: a very long tonal scale with details in both the shadows and highlights. I'm very happy to have this print in my collection and I will in fact mat and frame it. Thank you, Carl!

Where did the sun go?

I managed to get one semi-acceptable print on Friday and two complete failures. I chased the light all day and have't seen it since. It's snowing as I write this so I'm going to try and find someone with a UV tanning unit...

Depending on what you're printing, you can come over and use my plate burner if you want.

I am developing my VDB's in the kitchen sink with larger trays in the bathtub.

No darkroom yet, but I have everything else.

If you're doing any other process you'd have to bring your own gear.

You could pick up your 120 reels then too.

I got a sort of ok test print made and another one that was acceptable before the clouds set in. We have a storm headed our way.

Evenings after 6-ish are good. Thursday afternoon/evening would be good. This Saturday would also be good. There's a Maverick on the corner, so getting beverages to keep us up all night won't be a problem.

Snowing heavily all through the expected two hours of possible sunlight again.

Where did I put that greenhouse lighting unit, I wonder? It's not in the greenhouse...

I received Mike's print today as well. What a beautiful ziatype. I love the neutral gray tones.

Don and Gerhard, Thank You very much for your kind comments. Also received Gerhard's print yesterday and all the comments about it have been well deserved. Such a nice warm feeling to it, and a great illustration of how a 4x5 print can work as a contact print.
