One lens, one autumn
You can get surprisingly far with a film scanner and some patience. There is a version of this that is much more complicated. This is not that version. Some of this will be obvious; some of it took me years.
The middle part
I print small first, then decide what deserves to be larger. It took me six attempts to see the pattern. Between editing a series and scanning negatives, the second one taught me more.
In practice
Between printing and editing a series, the second one taught me more. The trick, if there is one, is to leave plenty of room for slip-ups. A friend once described coastlines as hushed work, and the phrase stuck. Every spring I revisit the same questions about coastlines. Between printing and scanning negatives, the second one taught me more.
