Legacy Mic-X straight replenished mixed in 2019. 5x7 Contact Print on Arista RC #2 Dektol 1:2 . I shot one frame at four pops, and one at eight pops. The denser neg looks better to me.

A 5x7 contact print?

The detail and the texture in that print must be amazing.

I once saw an 8x10 contact print, and it looked almost as though you could feel all that detail and texture if you ran you finger over it!

Ceramics across a lifetime.

I don't know where the elephant came from. I've always had it since I can remember as a little boy. It may have been my great grandmother's but that memory is not reliable.

The german-ish pseudo beer stein was made for me by my mother in my 20's.

The pitcher I bought last year at the sale my girlfriend's (from high-school and now again decades later) parents had as they divested excess to move into a retirement apartment. It was made by a (literally) world renown ceramic artisan here in our little town who trained in Japan. I got it stupid cheap ;)
