Some people say, a photograph isn't a photograph until it has been printed. I couldn't agree more. Thirty years ago when I was making prints, it was pretty hard to get a sense of anything looking at small negatives. Into the darkroom I would go, chemicals mixed, enlarger ready, safe light on. It was magical watching an image appear on the paper. Now days the image still appears on the paper but it comes our of a machine pixel by pixel. I love making prints, and I love making BIG prints. It ain't over till you have the physical object in your hands, or outstretched arms!
