There are no thin shadows to hold back. My procedures are simple. I've been photographing for twenty-two years. During much of this time my printing was haphazard. I think that in making a print, the procedure itself isn't so difficult, but the critical decisions are.
Many photographers have five or six cameras.
They usually have only one enlarger, frequently a Tinker Toy B22 with palsy in the brace system. I have many enlargers that aid in the multiple printing process, but I have only one camera, with a couple of lenses. When I get ready to print, I sit down with a stack of proof sheets. I look at these proof sheets and try to find clues to things that might work together. I'll sit down and a half an hour I can make more little notes of things I want to try than I could possibly do in a week.
