The basic principles are as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Every month I take a new picture</li> <li>That picture is then manipulated and prepared to the best of my ability</li> <li>The final result is a matted print</li> </ul> <p>The goals are to fine tune my process, try new techniques, and increase my proficiency. The reason for dealing with a print is is for the work to reach its full potential.</p> <p>Why every month, and not every week or every day? Mainly because I want to have an attainable goal. Something that is reasonable for me to do, yet will push me. Due to my schedule between work and church, I have far less time than I really want in the darkroom. I&#8217;m trying to make better use of my time in the darkroom. Additionally, the goal of one print a month allows me to really dig deep into a print and experiment with ways to make it better through dodging, burning, toning, or more creative approaches.</p> Fri, 26 Jun 2009 12:44:00 +0000 urn:uuid:ce242972-1f0a-441e-974f-349e82ffdd94 Berin Loritsch http://bloritsch.d-haven.net/articles/2009/06/26/print-a-month-project project darkroom print final
