Darkroom update

It’s Easter holiday and I’m looking forward to photographing Haronmäki again. This time it’s going to be in black and white, shot in medium format.

I’ve been practicing darkroom printing for half a year now and I’m finally starting to get somewhere. Or at least I’m not making mistakes every time I go the darkroom. I’m starting to get consistent results and sometimes I even thinking I’m finding my own “voice”. I had especially good time with photographing ice this winter.

I’ve wasted a lot of paper, but luckily I’ve ruined only two rolls of film. Lesson learned: developing two films at once is a great way to ruin two films at once.
