>>3404335I just recently got an Epson p800 and have been printing on baryta paper. Looks quite nice. This is of course for stuff 16x20 and smaller, I send out to a local lab for the big stuff. As far as getting out of the states, I really like the style of travel I can do around here - it allows me to spend the time I need to at each place and is just so pleasant. That doesn't mean I don't intend on going anywhere else, I do have some stuff in the works.

>>3405304I was a technician for Volkswagen for about ten years. The entire time I worked there I was shooting sheet film as much as I could on the weekends and even before and after work days. I was always trying to get out as much as possible, and decided one day that I would make it what I do full-time. It was a long process, I went part time at the job for the last three + years I was there and eventually was able to cut the strings completely. I'm in my early 30s now.
Here's a sheet of Ektar from this summer, I finally have about a dozen negatives scanned in and need to do the inversions as I have time. Most of this summer had intense wildfire smoke, some days it made for terrible sunrises and sunsets, some days it made them quite nice especially by lengthening the golden hour.
