General

Printed something like 15 prints today - some of which I re-scanned because I wasn't happy with the original scan. So orders are going to: Canada, Japan, and Iowa if I get everything matted and packaged tomorrow. I'm still using the same first roll of paper, and there's still plenty of ink left in the machine (even with that initial charging).

I did some of them at 2880 ppi but honestly, I can't see any difference between them and the 1440. Maybe it makes a difference in some prints but if you put two prints before me side by side at different outputs, I doubt if I could tell the difference.

What that would have been like in the darkroom (one of each) - I don't want to think about.

I spoke with one of the guys who operates a BUCKET truck in the area and I'm going to try and make arrangements to take some shots above "the tree line" on Park Avenue and maybe looking down some other avenue. Something I've always wanted to do.

Also began laying out the 11th Man book with InDesign. My skills there are very rusty and it was pretty frustrating.

On top of that, I want to get to Matt's prints and do the gallery for him.

Coming Soon
