This was a test print that didn't get washed very well. It was rescued from the trash and re-washed and I love the way it looks. It's naturally, chemically and physically distressed. It didn't happen randomly. It happened over time.
I like stuff that's part of the thought process. When we process on the computer we rarely save the interim steps. With prints they are all interim steps because, if we like the actual image enough, we're always trying to reprint it to get everything just right. We never get there and that's part of the joy and challenge of the process....
