Tree Hugger

I've managed to get a few hours in the darkroom under my belt now and I'm feeling a lot more confident about assessing prints and figuring out what needs doing to improve the look/mood. I can't wait to try out some fiber based paper rather than the resin coated stuff that I've been using so far as it's supposed to have a much nicer look and feel to it. It does have the down side of needing to be washed for up to one hour and it doesn't dry flat like the RC paper so I'm having to hold back until I get a sink plumbed into the room.
