<\/p>\nLesson Learned! \u00a0Don’t use fibrous blotter paper to dry your prints in neat little stacks or notebooks! And definitely don’t use any fibrous material to wipe your prints dry either. \u00a0Perhaps there are better ways to speed up drying? \u00a0I was looking for more images to add to my direct positive portrait gallery and came across this old scan. \u00a0It was taken\u00a0in 2013 while trying out the\u00a0Harman Direct Positive Paper with my Linhof 13×18 Technika III. \u00a0 \u00a0 Do you see the ugly mess of fibers stuck on my print. \u00a0 Oh and you know\u00a0those white gloves you see people sometimes use to handle prints. Yes, that’s right, you can avoid putting fingerprints all over your work if you use them. I managed to do both on this one image. \u00a0 It’s kind of funny since the model’s expression in this image\u00a0seems to\u00a0anticipate these issues. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42 \u00a0 Well this was\u00a0not serious work, only testing the paper and the camera, \u00a0and the good news is fiber prints can be washed again, and then either drum dried or air dried so no not a big problem. \u00a0 It’s great to sometimes look back through old work and think about all the things you’ve learned.<\/p>\n
