I
was 12 years old when I created my first print. The small darkroom was
filled with the red glow of the safelight and the strong chemical scent
of fixer. I looked down at the developing tray, the liquid sloshing
back and forth over the submersed white paper. Slowly, I saw it, the
first hints of an emerging image. As I agitated the plastic tray, the
moment I had captured with my camera came to life in front of my eyes. The inkjet printer, along with the personal computer, provides each of us the kind of control that was once only available to a photo lab or a photographer with his or her own personal darkroom. We can do more than create good prints from our digital image. We can produce excellent prints that reflect the richness and wonder of those captured moments of time.
