Contact Prints

That's funny -- "post your contact prints."

Paul,
I was just using my 5x7 back on the Burke & James with a half plate film holder. We have a problem in this country, half plate sized film and holders were in use much later than in The US. Now we have plenty of half plate film holders and no film but plenty of 5x7 film but holders are very hard to find.
Pete.

It is a little funny.

Maybe we should say; "Post your 'contact' prints."

The Wreck of the Peter Iredale, Oregon Coast

Well, for me just about everything I've posted here has been a contact print. So I decided to look in my old files for some I may not have posted. These are all contact prints on some old Azo Grade 2. I'm thinking at some point I've posted these somewhere. I've only been printing carbon transfer now so these are over four years old.
