Lately it seems like all I can do is print. If I'm not printing I'm not doing anything. I've sat down to do the paying work so many times and nothing comes out. I look at all the stuff around the house that I need to do and I just keep on looking. The funny thing is that most of the time I don't even feel like printing, but I see sunshine or a negative hanging above my desk and I just start working.I've ended up printing negatives that are extremely difficult, alternating with step wedges/test images so that I can convince myself that good prints can be made. I'm using the end of the Van Dyke solution tonight, but I placed orders for the chemistry to mix up a new batch. I'll be damned if I can't figure this thing out.
Joe said to me tonight, "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. It's working." I guess I'll just keep doing what I'm doing. It beats sitting around feeling awful.
