I just commented on your "innocence" picture & then I saw this one also. Do you take professional modeling shots? I noticed both of these are B&W. I know it depends on what kind of pictures that are being taken, but do you recommend using B&W or does it make much difference if you use color & then print it in B&W if wanted. I really enjoy you pictures & would like to hear any tips you may have.

Thanks Lori! I guess I just prefer black and white for portraits. I do color also but like the way the black and white best.
As far as making a print from a color negative, I have done it but I don't reccomend it. You loose an awful lot of contrast at least from my expierence, even when you use filters to get the contrast level up it still isn't the same as using true black and white film.
Hope this answers you question.
Thanks again!

Hi Jill... what film did you use. I use C41 B&W - cheaper to develope. It moer often than not has a red color to it. Any suggestions? #1455

Hi Lori,
I use TMax 100 mostly with my lights and 400 outside unless it is sunny, then I would use 100.
I have tried the C41 and I don't like it, it does seem to always have a tint to it unless you request them to use black and white paper instead of color.
I process my own black and white film, crazy I know.....but I really like having the control and saves me money. #1470

Jill,

Did you find it expensive to set up a darkroom for B&W - I am thinking of doing that. #1471

Jill Garl October 05, 2001

The most expensive part will be the enlarger....I was lucky a friend of mine gave me one he used to use in his advertising business a long time ago...it's gigantic!
If you want to email me you can (if its easier)
