Waiting on Maitani
I don't think that's Ruben's point. And for him, "will feel like a breeze" is obviously not true, or else he would give it a higher priority when he apportions his time. I think he's done a lotForget scanning,
just make 20-30 good darkroom prints and film processing will feel like a breeze.
If you shoot film, might as well do at least some printing (even if it's in a tiny bathroom); otherwise, you're not getting the full experience.
of darkroom work in his time, is accomplished at it, and now the methods he's used seem to be a burden in terms of time spent.
David & Keith: Thanks for the kind words -- yeah, it was bleedin' obvious to me, of course there may be folks who are in some whole other space-time continuum and have more time than the rest of us. 😀
What I find is that if I am clear about what I want to be doing (ignoring the fact that there ARE things that must be done whether I want to or not,) I actually get "more" done. At least it feels that way, but even if it is just more satisfaction rather than more quantity, that's a good thing.
Back in the day, when I had a very workable darkroom, I used to churn out work with ferocity. Some of it was good, maybe one or two prints a year were extremely satisfying. When I re-establish that darkroom, I hope I'll be even more productive because I'll have had that past experience, plus the perspective of being older and clearer ... if not wiser.
I think Ruben's point is he wants input on how to be more efficient in the craft of producing the photos, thus freeing up time for other activities, such as, oh, shooting.
Dave: I don't make tortillas, but I do eat 'em. 🙂 But if I were into making my on tortillas, I'd certainly dive right in break some eggs, grind some corn (I prefer corn to flour,) whatever it took. :angel:
