The prints I brought were total dog poop but Cole, ever a gentleman, took pity on me and gave numerous suggestions. During the seminar he brought some EW 8x10 negs (in a brown paper envelope!) developed in pyro, and printed them on grade zero paper developed in Amidol. Yes, there was a light bulb with a kleenex wrapped around it as the contact light source.
