Fragment
While scanning some old negatives I came across a fragment of a contact print I would have done as a teenager. When I was in my late teens I converted my parents camper into a dark room. It took quite a bit of effort to get it dark enough that I could do colour prints from slides. Without running water I used a large 5 gallon jug with a spout as my water source. I also repourposed a heater from an aquarium to keep a constant temperature for my liquids and measured the temperature with a thermometer for wine making. Looking back it was a lot of effort but also a wonderful experience. I printed both black and white and later the more demanding colour Type R process. Type R was a way of printing directly from a positive slide to a positive print without the need for an inter-negative. I loved the black borders this gave my images. These papers are no longer made so this process is no longer possible, but printing from a scanned slide now produces equally as good results with a lot less effort.
You can see on the right side of this 8×10″ Type R print the two holes from the clip I used to hang it to dry.
