Darkroom Journal - Entry #6 - Contact Sheet + Silver Gelatin Print on FB paper. ❤

This is the continuation of the portraits I took of my cousin Millah.
Last month I went to visit family and friends in Monterey Bay, CA.
Whenever I travel I bring along my Rolleiflex T. Lucky me, my cousin Millah let me take her portraits in what use to be one of my go to spots when I lived in the area.
The following week once arriving to Mexico I developed her rolls of film.
Now I'm sharing what follows, which is to make a contact sheet and create the photograph.
I mention the cost of photo paper in USD (not pesos) because it was purchased when I still lived in California. I looked into what it would cost me now that I live in Mexico but had a hard time finding many options. RC paper on the other side was really easy.
I hope this video was useful and inspired you to work on that photo project you've been wanting to make happen.

New car windshield wiper. Ive always used them as squeegees, works better than film specific ones for me. :)

Those darn spots are so frustrating... Sometimes you just need to move on and spot them... LOL Just did that yesterday

I never thought of using split grades for test sheets in that way - thanks for the tip. Been printing on and off for 30 years and still learning!

This was great! And reminded me to get some new bulbs for my enlarger (same model!) :)

Great video once again señorita!😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 always a joy to watch and when I get alerted of a new video I’ll set some time in the evening and watch them😊 No rambling on as you say as you are just passionate and being genuine about what you love👍🏼 Definitely identify with putting the brakes on printing due to cost of materials, I print digitally in a 13”x19” size for my portfolio and the cost of inks is crazy!😱 Anyway thanks again for this video inside your world, keep them coming!😊 Cuidate!

Thanks for the vid. Couple a questions. 1- you made 3 but want to make more so the question is, you take notes, write down times & on one of the prints? Eg in red circle something with a time to maybe change exposure of/or part of the image? 2- at the end in the dark room, those your photos to the left of the cabinet?
