I wish I wasn't such a slob. My darkroom is such a mess and every time I want to do something in there, I need to move a bunch of stuff around, or out. There's piles of film holders, tons of camera gear, prints, scanners, tripods, boxes of paper, the list goes on and on.
I have a bunch of prints that I made over the last couple of months. These all need to be dry mounted, matted and some of them put into frames. Others need to be sent out to people that have requested them. A couple of days ago I cleared away a whole bunch of stuff and made some space on my work table. Then I proceeded to cut mounts and mats for all the prints I've been working on. The project kind of stalled at that point, and everything is still sitting there half finished. I need to find the time to circle back to this and finish them all.
In addition to these, there are also a bunch of larger prints that I have done for the Apparitions project. I haven't made my final selection yet as to which will end up in the exhibition. I want to see a bunch of the negatives printed to 16x20 and then compare them, before making my final selection. So, while I am running the dry mount press I am also flattening all of these prints.
I need to get all of this stuff done and out of my way. Then I will be able to shuffle everything around once again so that I can unload all of the exposed film and reload fresh film, in all my film holders. Then it will be another shuffle and I will set up to mix chemicals and make some developer. Then I will shuffle once again and set up to process a bunch of sheet film and roll film. Part of that will involve yet another shuffle so that I can set up my big Jobo processor, which is required for some of the developers I want to work with.
