Filled out another goddamn job application today. I guess there's little point in writing anything about one's actual life. At least if you're me. Hopefully at least some of my ideas are interesting to somebody.

Hit the darkroom a couple of days ago and printed up several takes of a single image. I drive myself crazy trying to match the beautiful tonalities that my pics have in a contact print. If you shoot tmax 100 in 6x7cm format and develop it in dilute XTOL for an hour you get completely grainless 8x10s but i can never figure out how to get the tonalities I want from any format smaller than 4x5. Whatever. The obvious solution is to shoot 4x5 but it's a lot cheaper and easier to shoot 120 rollfilm and develop it for the finest grain you can get. Most non photographers wouldn't see much difference in the various prints anyway.
