After printing nothing but small 5 x 6 inch prints on RC paper for my Random Acts of Art project, it's nice to get back in the darkroom and print some new work. Today I thought I'd start with 14 x 5.5 inch panoramic prints from my Noblex on FB paper. #filmphotography #darkroom
I started on another round of "Random Acts of Art". So far 20 of 60 window mats cut. I also have more darkroom to make. Then after putting them together, I start leaving them in random locations for whoever finds them to enjoy or pass along to someone else. #filmphotography #randomactsofart
