After my photography exhibit in May we repainted a few walls. Now I'm finally getting some prints back on the walls in a less crowded arrangement. One wall done, two more to go. #filmphotography #darkroomprints

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

I had some mat board left over from framing prints for my exhibit so I put it to use mounting and matting 6, and framing 3 5.5x14 inch Noblex prints. I need to get some more glass to finish up. #believeinfilm #filmphotography #panoramicphotography
