Just did a bunch of contact prints for 35mm negatives. Including a couple rolls that my 7 yr old daughter shot

On Monday I exposed and developed a calotype on a new type of paper. I dried it slowly between blotters, and it just finished drying today. Will try a salt print from it soon. I'm excited because it looks like this new paper is going to work very well. I've got a really good feeling that this year it is going to come together.

Made eight 16x20 prints last weekend, toned them yesterday, and now they are ready for the press. Time then to spot them, mount and frame. Only eight more to go...
Six 11x14 prints to send to the gallery to refresh the inventory. Planning on a series of smaller prints for just passing through the gallery, something small they can bring with them easily. Like 6x6 prints in sleeves on 8x10 paper.
Tried a batch of lith prints, but didn't have much luck. I'm returning to using very dilute developer after a stint with more concentrated. It's more time consuming but I like the results much better. Still experimenting though.

Worked with solarization in the darkroom and and lith printing on two separate days. Used lpd and an empty enlarger for the solarizations, lith printed with arista a/b lith dev on arista edu to a light brownish pinkish prints.
Hi Márcio,
I like #s 2, 4 and 6. And you seem to be getting nice tone in all, are these contact prints?
The second one is interesting to me. I would not have cut off the top of the steeple, but because it is cut off, it gives the street an enclosed feeling and the white sky makes it seem like you can "feel the air" in that enclosed space. That is an effect I really like!
( there is something odd in the sky, it looks like a facebook logo, hopefully it is an artifact of making these digital to put here and not on the print )
In the fourth one I like the distant hills and how they make counterpoint to the bench and person.
In the sixth one I like the overall pattern made by foreground, town, hills and sky!

Thank you for the comment
They are all contact prints which make a nice size, kind of postcards.
I agree about the oddness of the sky. We can't see cloud shapes. Unfortunatly it is in the print and I was suspicious that it comes from the Satin paper effect I printed on. But I don't remember if the sky was actually plain white that day.
Edit... I remember now. It was almost snowing when I took the 2nd photograph. And it was snowing very light on the 4th photograph. I supposed it is "snow day" sky.

3 rolls of TMAX 400 developed in DD-X. Finally the last rolls of my December trip to Japan have been processed. Time for another trip to generate more work for the future!!!
I realised I hadn't made a single cyanotype from a paper negative, so I made one today.
This is on Daler Bockingford (NOT) 150gsm, gelatin sized. It's a bit too thin and texturey for my taste, but it's all I've got that's big enough for a 10x8.
Rather a dense negative and it could have done with another 15 or 30 mins, but I am impatient (this is not a good trait for the photographically inclined
)
The neg was made in a foamcore pinhole camera.

Two weeks ago Saturday got just over 50% of the work done on my "Collision Bend" series of prints (Tri-X 400 in HC-110 on MGVI RC Satin in Dektol with Selenium Toner). Next week Monday I finish the series, and knock off another copy for a gift!
spent the afternoon trying to make lith prints from a paper negative using some old AGFA MCC 111 vc fibre paper, in LD20 ... well, after 40 minutes of rocking the tray, I got something ...
11/10 for effort-good to know it wasn't all wasted in the end!
I've got a salt print sitting in toner right this second, from a homemade calotype. I was already excited about the new paper I'm using for calotypes, but this is making me more excited. After 15 minutes facing away from the sun toward north open sky, this one had darks almost as dense as the border, but still has bright white highlights. I love the way the "upper half" of the print, the parts from the mid-tones up to the highlights have incredibly delicate detail in a salt print.
With a commercial paper negative, my salt prints usually face north for an hour or two, then directly at the sun for about an hour. This one was done after 15 minutes north, then I gave it just 1 minute at the sun to lock in the darks. ( It reminds me of split grade printing ) So I'm trying to get used to these new fast printing times!

Two rolls of Delta 400, souped in my last few drops of HC-110.
More liths from the same negative, same paper, same developer as the other day ... just more exposure
By no means perfect even on the second go, but they have their charm.
Might post a couple once they're washed and dried.
(I've started using the "taped to glass with framer's tape" method for drying and it really does make fibre dry beautifully flat ... trouble is, I only have one sheet of glass big enough for one 10x8
)

You don't have any windows in your home?
I initially used an internal glass door for that drying method, but then decided it was less inconvenient to actually have separate, movable surfaces. The eventual method is using cheap offcuts of polycarbonate-sheet from a d.i.y. shop and wide pieces of plastic coated chipboard meant for making cupboards with - both materials work equally well.
Processed the following films:
1 roll 35mm TMax 400 (last roll)
1 roll 35mm Tri-X (five rolls left)
1 roll 35mm HP5+ (my new staple)
1 roll 120 Agfa APX 25 (last roll)
1 roll 120 Tri-X 400 (four rolls left)
All in TMax developer 1+4 except the 35mm Tri-X in stock D76. No more backlog of film developing! Woo-Hoo!

Finally printed some of my 4x5 work! The Battleship Texas, a Cannon at Gettysburg, and a Tree shot!
Wasn't too happy how the tree shot printed but the other two are gold!
