Frigid Light

Today, I printed my first black and white print while part of the MSU Photography program. I’ve been processing and printing black and white film for the better part of three years now, but MSU’s equipment, protocol, and processes are slightly different (and apparently slightly less reliable). All of which resulted in a pretty “interesting” (read: messed up) print.

It’s quite dark, which resulted from the odd filter system that MSU uses in their enlargers. When the enlarger I was using broke (the cable which connected the enlarger to the light timer refused to stay plugged in) I switched enlargers and forgot to take the filter with me. Also, there is either a chemical splotch or a dust mark in the upper left. Oh well.
