July 30, 2005, from Lloyd Erlick,

I guess photography is all about point of view!

One of my explicit decisions about how I was going to change the way I
worked in my darkroom was that I wanted to process one print at a time
(quality over quantity). I like to finagle all the details one by one on
test prints, then make final prints one by one with my full attention on
each detail.

It's a funny thing, I'm not given to anxiety or inappropriate tension in
day to day life, but a holding tray full of half-finished prints, or a
stack of 16x20s in a tray of selenium toner (which I am required to
shuffle...) just fills me with angst. I suppose it's the perfectionist in
me; I just know at least one of those prints will get a ding somehow, so
it's Russian roulette with my beautiful prints ...

regards,
--le
