One of my last efforts is hanging at the ROM right now, its titled House Calls.
That project alone was over 10 days of printing and toning in a row. By the time the funds become available to print and frame and hanging time with some institutions is very short. I usually have a month grace on any show once $$ and paper arrive.
I am now working on a long term alt project and for sanity's sake have given myself a couple of years before it hangs.
WOW! 15 days straight. That is a grind. I know I could never work that long and keep the quality up. My last big show took me 6 mouth to print
And that was one to two days every weekend. I will tell you towards the end I was redoing prints after they dried and flatten.. Granted they were pl/pt prints and silver chloride prints. If work in front of a computer to make digital negatives longer than 1-2 hours I'm going crazy. Well maybe I'm crazy anyway. :blink: :wondering:
