Square Peg In A Round Hole






This is what you get when you have film cut and sleeved in rows of six, and then try to make contact sheets on 8x10 paper.

Another great mystery of the photo world, like 16.7 inch paper. Negs can be cut in 5's or 6's, but then you have to find paper that matches, so either 8x10 or 8.5x11. Of course not many folks make 8x5x11 paper, and those who do know they have a nice product and slap it with a high price.

So, all I had was 8x10, hence the odd, cropped, somewhat botched look. They still work, made about 8 prints yesterday.

Remember when you told your mother she would never fit in anywhere? Fitting in has to be a project undertaken to achieve. The problem surfaces quickly with the realization that so far there is no place you have found where you want to fit in.

Maybe the place where you don't fit in is the place?

Maybe but, if you are wrong??????

Not fitting in isn't such a bad thing.
