[pure-silver] Re: holga focus and how do you scan a negative properly

I don't think I'm good at film, Bob, but thank you. :) I think I'm clumsy
and lucky.  And sometimes when I'm reading everyone's posts here, I feel
like I'm reading a foreign language! The fact that the Holga is rudimentary
is probably why I like it. It's simple. You point, you shoot, you may or may
not get something you like and if you don't, it's the camera's fault. I
hadn't printed anything in a darkroom for nearly three years so that's why
I'm so excited. I'm just happy to be taking long playful chemical baths in a
darkroom again.

 I smell like fixer! Yippie!

Oh, I decided to try another way of creating a digital image from film
besides scanning so I took digital photos of the darkroom prints and posted
those too.  I don't like the way they look. You can see lint and the papers
texture. For the life of me I don't remember how I used to get copies of my
prints online. Maybe I just didn't care much if they looked as good as the
prints. I don't remember. But how are you all creating digital images from
your analog prints?
