Hand printing - Feb 2008

I recently took a Black and White printing class - It was a great way to get back into the darkroom, without having to turn my bathroom into a chemical store-room.  It felt so good to be back in the dark and have my hands covered in developer and fix.  Watching the image comes up in the chemistry really is a sight to see and just doesn't lose its romance.  These are images I printed from film I shot in three different subjects homes.  I found 2 subjects online and 1 was referred to me.  With all these shoots, I went in blind, never having a face to face meeting, never having seen the environment and bringing nothing but my Hasselblad a a few rolls of film.
