    @charliedontsurf This is nice. In printing you have transformed this film into something that easily rivals any modern film. I still really like the way this film manages the light grey tones and the whiles. Such a simple richness that is missing from other films, or at least you maximize it well.

    @mike1allison I try to have the print I want in my head before I start working on it. Most of the time I can't achieve it exactly, I think because I'm working with long expired material. The pure whites ( look at the borders) and jet blacks are basically unobtainable but in a low contrast scene like this its ok and the fogging doesn't matter too much. I guess that the combination of expired film and paper has something to do with the look. Thanks Mike.

    @charliedontsurf But I think pure whites and jet blacks are really non existant in real life except in laundry commercials. But regardless the range of black seems broader sometimes in this film and I think the combination of film and paper complements each other. I like the infinity that impure whites and incomplete blacks offer..... I'm weird though
