My personal project: printing it all!


Bob,
I've been following your very interesting posts for a while now. You're an inspiration that's for sure.
 
Oh no, Dude, I am totally serious. I have close to 50 years of negatives, mostly unprinted. I wish I had you determination. I agree about the digital part. It can be mind numbing.

Start as soon as you can. Go 5x7 and you'll go through them in a breeze. The only problem with starting small is that soon wnough you'll start planing to go bigger for your favorites and then you'll want them all big.
But sometimes small is best.
 
Where are you located.
I would like to see some of these prints someday.

Yes, I'll post some pictures soon for the fun of it.
I'd also like to show you real prints in person. I'm in Montreal... Not really far from you.
 
Yes I am very impressed well done. I am doing something slightly similar. I am only posting printed material for a least a year. If its worth showing it's worth printing.

That's the spirit.
 
Good for you! I'm very happy to see someone with such dedication to the craft and the art.

I don't print everything I shoot as it would be way more expensive than I can afford. But I do find that when I go into the darkroom, and I start exploring a single roll of negatives, I find that I still like many of the ideas I had when I shot them. And if I didn't go through this process of printing more negs per roll than usual, all those 'good ideas' would never see the light of day or my enlarger.

Keep it up, and I wish I could be in Bob's office when you bring a few boxes of prints.
