Print has a beautiful luminosity that makes it hard to put down.

Ha, that's great. I drift off some mornings waiting for it to steep too.
Thank you Colin! This actually is my girlfriend drifting off after lunch in the midday heat…
Yesterday's carbon work. I conquered frilling by masking all the rebate. (Last summer a thin frame of rebate didn't cause problems.) I've been having some difficulties getting a brush-stroke-free coating of sensitizer, but these are better. My favorite is the moonsnail, maybe because I made many attempts at it, bouncing between too dark, and blown detail in the snail.
Nicely done, Sly!
What is your sensitizer strength?

Thanks Tri and Vaughn.
They are different dilutions. The snail and the truck are using 0.8%, Mount Benson is 1.6%, and the arbutus is 2.4%. These may seem like strange dilutions, but I found it easier to mix up different dilutions from my 8% stock solution on a decimal system. 1ml stock to 9 ml H2O, is 0.8%. 2ml stock to 8ml H2O is 1.6%. I've probably got my math wrong. I'm sure there's a perfectly sensible and straight forward way to arrange things otherwise, so the dilutions don't have decimal points. PLEASE, though, don't confuse me with common sense. As long as I'm consistent, I figure it will work for me.
