A good roll has one frame on it. I go through every contact sheet with a loupe and a red pencil, and most weeks the pencil stays clean.

  1. Step 01

    Edit

    I mark the contact sheets in red and keep one frame from each roll. The rest go to the archive, with a note about the weather.

  2. Step 02

    Proof

    Small proofs on the final paper, checked by the north window in the morning and under a warm bulb at night.

  3. Step 03

    Ship

    Each print is signed, numbered, and packed flat between two boards, in a box strong enough to stand on.
