A Sigh Of Releif

Sigh......

Developed my first 5 sheets of 8x10 Tri-x today from the latest white background Sex Worker Series Photographs (2009). I had not used the equipment for 2 years (it was stored in Thailand), I had not shot any film at all with the 8x10 on white backgrounds. Luckily the negs look good, it seems I did all the technical things correctly. I hope to have also improved in regards to posing, composition, expression, development mistakes and stray light errors. Am also curious how the Ilford HP5 and J and C 400 film will fare (I shot all the 400 asa 8x10 film I had this trip, around 600 sheets), hopefully these new films will also lead to fine fiber photographs.

So far so good, will post some of the images when the negs dry.
