Over Printing

I looked over some of my dried prints from last week and feel I overprinted them a bit. I need to lighten the photographs and maybe tone down the contrast some. I might also be over bleaching the highlights a bit. Its a fine line between a great looking print and a overdone process that looks harsh and artificial.

I will try reprinting last weeks images a bit softer and see what I like best later on. I also have several new prints I need to get to. Hopefully this week I can print 5 new works along with the 2 reprints. If I can do all of that it will have been a good week.

Printing is a real artform, something that is integral to the whole creative process in my opinion.
