Making Images

Admiral's Club - John Wayne Airport, Jan. 2009I'm going through sheets of negatives in an attempt to get to a darkroom and print some contact sheets.  I really miss the ability to see all of my images at once.  I've tried to scan the sheets and make a digital contact sheet, but the results have been pretty pathetic, and I don't think I'd care for them much anyway.

For Christmas I received the Jim Marshall: Proof book which really was the push that's driving this a bit.  Dan Milnor is providing some inspiration as well.  But January has been busy and I haven't made it to the darkroom yet.

As I've been gathering up the negatives I came across this image from last year.  I didn't scan it at the time I scanned the other inauguration images but it's grown on me.  It's another reason I want to print up contact sheets.  I really want to review images from a couple of years ago.  Have I improved? Are there images there I didn't notice and has the passing time made them more appealing?  I don't know but I'd like to.  So it's off to the darkroom in the next couple of weeks and see what I see.
