This is from Camera & Darkroom magazine, September 1995.
"Before I start the actual exposure I take a moment to fix the image in my mind and review what I plan to do. If you just push the button, then the image takes you by surprise you've lost before you even start."
"...when I print...I am concentrating on what I am doing now, and nothing else. If you're thinking about something other than the image while you're printing, it will show. The difference might be subtle, but I believe that's what distinguishes a truly great print from a very good one."
C&D: What advice would you give to printers who want to improve their own skills?
"Print, print, print and then print more."
