Ironical as it were... I had never heard of photostock before joining this forum, and even when seeing it, the name of it always made me think it was just another gathering of photography equipment sales guys selling the latest gear, I had never looked into it Because of the name, but now that I know I'm really interested, how exciting, and if its year round that would be great.
Glad to have learned something today...

Thanks, makes sense, especially combined with your developing techniques I'm sure you're able to match them really well.
It's kind of by necessity. My approach is to print nearly everything on the same paper. It's kind of like the bolt in the hole thing where if the bolt is the wrong size it's loose or it won't fit. Think of the paper as the hole and the negative the bolt. If the negative doesn't have the right tonality it won't fit very well with the paper's tonality. That's the whole idea behind getting the most out of a film - to tweak the exposure and film processing such that it gels very well with the paper. Simple idea, and I find it easier to start with the finished product and reverse engineer my work flow rather than trying to jam the tonality of a negative onto an array of papers. To know what to expect makes for a lot less frustration in the darkroom, and a lot less waste.
Hey being a bit slow myself, my girlfriend had to point out the Woodstock play on words. You've heard of Woodstock haven't you? Or maybe you're too young.

Thank you Pipyr!
It looks like this print has sold. Awaiting payment.
Thomas!
I was just alerted to this thread! Thank you! That is a very kind gesture, my friend. And congrats on the sale! This is one of my favorite shots to come from Photostock outings. It is absolutely beautiful in real life.
Thank you again! We are well on the way and I am grateful for any and all help. This is going to be a really cool place for what we do. If we can get through this successfully, I plan to have the building up by this year's event and ready for a full schedule of workshops in 2014. You should see some of the people we have lined up and waiting to teach there!
Will there be beer?
With 101% certainty there will. Be fun if you could come down to Cross Village and hang out this summer, Dinesh.

Don't tell anyone, OK. I feed him well. There is no suffering.BTW, do you still have Cardwell locked up in your basement working out film / developer combinations?

Stockholm Syndrome!
Does anyone else hate it when you come to a thread too late? That was a stunning print Thomas, I just linked it to the SWMBO and she loved it as well.

Just coming back from Paris. Terrific gesture T !
Oh man, did I ever wonder where the h*ck he had gone... Now that was an unexpected development.
Thanks! If I had more time I could make another print, but with my current schedule it looks as though I won't be getting into the darkroom until March/April some time.
