This was finally a good week. I was lucky to had some time here and there to do some pics, and the weather has been doing great lately. Still learning but seeing progress. I have told myself that by the end of the month I have to have a portfolio of 10-15 different pictures with which I have to be COMPLETELY satisfied technically (and aesthetically) speaking in order to move forward to do film negatives.

So far the "exercises" have shown different things about paper negatives: how certain colors behave, how light and indirect light really helps or drive you nuts, etc, etc :). So far, I came to realize that when it comes to paper negatives, I really do prefer to use them for still life pictures instead of landscapes as I share some of the examples here, mostly because I have a little more of control over the final image.
