The Monochrome Path

I had omitted to mention in my last few missives the impact of photography and digital media so here are some images to make up for that :

 

The developed negatives

Some test strips for enlarger exposure

 

 

Some prints including someone we know; the last one was a disappointment because it was a good shot of a guy in the street -however there was damage to the negative

 

 

The finished prints

I would say I am quite pleased  but I feel the project merits further development; I wasn't very happy with my registration and for the future I think  I will always make my own specific reg sheet.
