Yesterday did some constructive work for a change. Was in the darkroom
for about 6 hours, setting things up and printing masks for 3 THE
FAMILIES OF THE DUMP negs. Will return today to work on one of those
negatives (3 young friends in a hammock), a happier dump image. I will
try to post some of that darkroom work, maybe a video of the processing
or you all to see later.
Also last
night I did up some digital work on 5x7 paper. My Mac computer screen
is not calibrated to the printer well. I am a crappy digital printer
guy but did my best to make up some small prints of the images I like.
During this stay at home time I plan on making up some semi large prints
for a possible Library show. Last year I had promised a local library
to do a small show of THE FAMILIES OF THE DUMP for them, probably 12 or
so prints. I did not complete that obligation, sort of lost interest in
it. I feel bad about that and need to rectify that situation. Now is a
good time to make up those matted digital Library show prints and have
them ready for exhibition (sort of an exhibition) when that library
reopens after Corona. I think this is more of an information thing,
spreading the word, telling stories to a larger audience, not a REAL
show. I should improve my digital printing skills doing this, so that
is a nice bonus.
Here is a sample of some of the small prints.
