This one time, I took a crappy cellphone picture of my final photo project on the wall of the art building because I forgot to take a camera with me.

One week with an art major.

Time spent in the darkroom this week: Aprox. 12 hours (Or, three hours a day since Monday. But probably more than that.)

Rolls of film developed: 4

Contact sheets created: 4

Time spent scouring contact sheets for possible prints: 30-60 min.

Time spent cleaning negatives: Too long

Total number of final prints created: 6

Number or reject prints and text strips: Oh, God, I don’t even want to know.

Number of ruined prints due to major dust problems: 4

Money spent on 25 sheets of drymount tissue and 25 sheets of 11x14 matboard: $53.69

Prints need for the final project: Oh, crap. 8-10. Why was I thinking 6? Shitshitshit.

The photo assignment has been pushed back!

Instead of being due on Friday, it’s due the class after, which won’t be until Thursday next week.

That’s a relief because if it were still due Friday, I’d have to finish it tonight. Instead, I did my contact sheets and now I have a little bit more time to think about what I want to print and I’ve got the weekend, plus all day on Tuesday, plus whatever evenings work.

Basically, life is good in terms of photography.
