I was under the impression that you were coating your own emulsion. I am thinking of robbing a bank and starting the process at home.

I'll bet those buds turned out to be beautiful flowers. Good job!

Do you normaly shoot 4x5 film, or do you have a preference to format?

These days I am shooting only 4x5 and medium format in BW, and MF in color. I pretty much only shoot 35mm when paid to by a client. Besides the thrill I get just looking at the larger negs, I find them easier to work with in the darkroom. I also prefer the LF and MF cameras that use a ground glass; I like to be able to see my composition at full negative size.

I hope to learn to do this someday. Right now I am immersing myself in learning about toners and toning

Check out the themes section. I'm mostly posting there as it seems more logical to sort out eight years of photography by subject matter. As I do new stuff I'll post it in this forum.

Everyone should feel free to critique any of my work where ever I post it. I know that the themes area isn't normally for critique, but I really want to hear other peoples' idea and what they see when they look at my photos.
