DIY


Hunter Galloway: Jamestown, Rhode Island

This is the first of three prints I developed myself over the Thanksgiving break at the Darkroom in Merchantville, NJ. To get this one print took about a month. First of all this is from a roll I shot in July/August while visitng my Dad in Newport Rhode Island. To see this image appear on the paper after putting it in the devloper bath was magic. I can't really describe how gratifying it was to see the final result. In this day & age of digital everything people often forget the photographic process. From developing the negatives, to getting the right exposure time on the enlarger, to putting the final print through the chemicals, gave me an appreciation for photography. Nothing like forgetting about a photo, then months later see it on the negatives.
