Response to Studio Update

Chris,
You're absolutely right. I completely forgot about that limitation of TLR's (can you guess how long it's been since I used mine?). On the other hand, there's always room for cropping on a square negative, though I know that's extremely sub-optimal.

No, I have nothing to post at all, I'm afraid. Far too much schoolwork-- I haven't taken any of my cameras out of their hiding places for months! You should hear from my plenty by this summer, tho. By the looks of the job market right now I'll have nothing to do *but* photography (and maybe some busking at Park Street station).

I see Allan's point about the dark shadow on the left hand... now I can see why gaffers have such things as "silk dots"-- perfect for such small things as this shadow. You could try filling it from behind his arm with a small white litedisc, perhaps?

Does it look that dark in the print? It might be a scan or monitor calibration issue. Unlike Allan, I do have some separation between the neck and the hand, at least on my screen.
