sheet

TB84, 1993

Contact sheets make for fascinating reading. There’s an honesty to them. What first caught attention. The full frame. When technique and eye hit home. What didn’t work in that light with that film. Why dead center is sometimes right. Where steps in the darkroom can make an image better.

Looking at what I made years ago, I can still feel the clear winter air and Lhasa light. I think of details and moments I hadn’t realized I remembered.
