The Ballad of the Existentialist

"Of course, when working one always feels, and should feel, a kind of dissatisfaction with oneself, a longing to do it much better; but still it is delightful and comforting to gradually get a collection of all kinds of figures together - though the more one makes, the more one wants to make".
Vincent van Gogh, letter 241

Decided to take a break from darkroom work today, and it was too cold to photograph outdoors, so not much done today with photography.

I did get a chance to examine the dried photographs from yesterday's session. They look pretty good, kind of odd colors and schemes, but it feels good to be moving forward, making some kind of progress. As the darkroom sessions accumulate the luck will come, my skills will slowly sharpen, and the results will have a better chance of improving.
