thanks for taking the time to look, yes, still in sarasota. do me a favor and point out where you think i'm lacking technically, i pride myself on doing perfect film development, (can't make a perfect print with an imperfect negative) and immaculate printing, granted, i'm not using top of the line enlargers, but i am generally pretty effective in getting what i want on paper. i tend to print a little dark, just a leftover from a teacher that hated grayed out, light, wishy washy prints. i usually strive for and get real high contrast prints. i think maybe some of the ones that are dark to your eyes are because i wanted them that way, though if the majority finds lighter prints pleasing, stuff for public comsumption should be lightened up a bit, don't make any money if you don't sell, right? :) give me some examples if you have the time and the inclination please. i really appreciate you taking the time you have already to look and tell me what you think. i have a hard time sometimes with scans cause i scan them one place and take the files home to put them online, my main workstation at home has a monitor with a gamma problem, all of it looks dark to me, ya know. i keep having to look at the pic, then open it on another box and try to find a happy median. once again, thank you very much for the compliments and yer time. hope to hear back from you soon. sincerely j gadsby
