Back in the days of Black and White I worked in a darkroom as a lab assistant; and sometimes students would make the mistake of asking me what I thought. If they wanted to learn this was not a mistake, but if they just wanted me say how great their work was . . . that was when it became a mistake. Sometimes I would advise them to crop tighter or change their center of balance, but by far the most common problem they had was with Shadows and Highlights.

I would ask a student to show me a pure “white” in their print and they would point to a cloud or something similar. I would say that’s not white, and they would argue with me. (Read the full post about ‘Shadows and Highlights - Back in the Zone’…)
