The Photos Come to Life

  What an amazing day dedicated to printing the photos I have been taking the past few weeks! I have not yet printed because we needed to replace some of the chemicals in the dark room. Once they arrived, Kate replenished them and I was clear to start working. My anticipation to see the photos of yesterday's photoshoot and Quechee Gorge was through the roof. I was quite the busy bee trying to hustle and print all of my favorite photos. 

At first, my excitement took over me and I grew a little impatient so my first few prints were either damaged, chemically incorrect, or the wrong lighting. Fortunately, after some time I paused and forced myself to slow down because I could feel frustration building up. When I had relaxed, the process became a lot smoother and I could really see my photos come to life!

I found myself so focused and engaged with my work I hadn't even realized how much time had passed. The time to wrap up my day quickly crept up on me and I had to begin cleaning up. I gathered all the dried prints and cropped the ones that needed it. 

I organized the prints and put them in a folder. I have plenty more negatives to go through and print tomorrow, I cannot wait! Here are all of the photos I printed today:
