Mostly lab notes. a summary day of many smaller entries.
Keeping track is part of the continuous life of working as maker. The darkroom is where I spent much of my work life. Writing under that circumstance meant paper and plastic. As important to the process of markers is a notebook. It can be as casual as the one shown or as formal as the one I used with dye transfer.
I make small reference marks on the prints. These are also noted in the notebook in which the full comments are written. This book becomes stuffed with test-print portions which serve as prompts for remake or guides to process alteration, such as developer addenda. [talas ]
if in doubt, check definitions from working groups, special societies. Academics have the motivation to define, refine, until it provides advantage to a field.
keep small bottles of ready to use Addenda. These are for use with paper developers– amidol in this instance.
limits to enlargement: least discussed is ‘system flare’ — MTF of process chain is most often discussed; it can be calculated. System flare must be measured.
