Labrang Monastery, Xiahe

This is the last outtake I'm going to post of the monastery. It's time to move on to editing and looking through my other photos. I am taking these negatives into the darkroom however, and a few days ago I made prints of the first four or five photos. I have yet to flatten the prints, but once I've done that I'll be able to reassess the negative scans. Already, I can see how one of my prints is better than the digital version; I should rescan the negative flatter and redo the contrast adjustments.

Once I'm done with the prints I'm hoping to show them around and perhaps find a place for some of them in a group show somewhere. In the meantime, I do have those other sets to edit and post. I just need to make sure I make time to spend in the darkroom. It was great getting back there. I find that I'm feeling a lot more comfortable even than last year.

And, once again, you can find the rest of the series here.
