How Much is that Dolly in the Window? — Mark Moran
A contact print holds clues and offers a preview of a larger print. They are a heads up for any potential issues not picked up by holding the negative up to the light.

This week I picked up a copy of Seacoast Maine by George Tice. A collection of photographs documenting Maine between 1970 - 2007. I must admit I’ve not given much attention to George Tice but I’m glad to say that his blend of black and white portraits and landscapes has changed that.

Just posted a portrait of Alexander over on the app that use to be quite good. But now I feel a little bit dirty, like pissing into the wind.

Always wondered what this was. A take on 999 was always my best guess. But once you see it you can’t unsee it!

What I like about this test strip is how close it is to where I want the final image to be. I’m going with the far left (Grade #0) before some Grade #5 to burn in some blacks to lift and add punch.

Walked around most of today, camera sling over my shoulder. But a single shot fired. Still, managed to pick up a copy of Graham Greene’s The Quiet American with the Hogarth cover.

My favourite lorry. Thick blue paint on the cabin, hand painted graphics on the sides. I keep coming back here to test film, cameras under all weather conditions.

Fresh prints starting to emerge in the darkroom from my latest shoot with musician & rapper Sharifa. Theres a wide range to choose from the contacts. Rich blacks & creamy whites are printing well with little trial & error. It’s an exciting time!
