Really hitting it: a whole roll of keepers!

[Sirius Glass]

Great negatives. Now it is time to get a good enlarger and set up a darkroom. Give up life as you know it, and slink around like Gollum in the darkroom. Soon you will be talking like this:

Gollum: We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false!
Smeagol: No. Not master!
Gollum: Yes, precious, false! They will cheat you, hurt you, LIE.
Smeagol: Master is our friend!
Gollum: You don't have any friends; nobody likes you!
Smeagol: I'm not listening... I'm not listening...
Gollum: You're a liar and a thief.
Smeagol: No!
Gollum: *Murderer*.
Smeagol: Go away!
Gollum: "Go away?"
[Gollum laughs as Smeagol begins crying]
Smeagol: I hate you, I hate you.
Gollum: Where would you be without me, gollum, gollum? I saved us! It was me! We survived because of me!
Smeagol: [stops crying] Not anymore.
Gollum: What did you say?
Smeagol: Master looks after us now. We don't need you anymore.
Gollum: What?
Smeagol: Leave now, and never come back!
Gollum: No!
Smeagol: Leave now, and never come back!
[Gollum screams in frustration]
Smeagol: LEAVE! NOW! AND NEVER COME BACK!
[Gollum is silent]
Smeagol: [looks around] We told him to go away... and away he goes, Precious! Gone, gone, gone! Smeagol is free!

Can't say this has ever happened to me but I've managed to get a high 80% keeper rate a couple times. Shots look great, I really like the simplicity that allows the viewer to focus on form.

What makes you think I don't already?

6x6 actually makes a nice little contact print, I think. Unfortunately it's hard to find nice frames in that size---there are dollar-store junk frames, but they tend to be offensively blingy.
