old negatives 02.

I have been celebrating the start of december in my darkroom: my dearest friend Miia have mailed me three beautiful old negatives belonging to her family. according to what she has wrote me - the ladies in the photographs are her grandma and her grandma's cousin.

the prints from Miia's negatives:



✻ as the negatives are really big I have made a contact print of each of them - then I have printed a cropped version: my enlarger's frame was too small for them.



✻ all of the three negatives were quite easy to print: the photographer had done a really good job taking them in bright day light.



✻ I adore the amount of pets in the photographs - I bet that is the reason why Miia has chosen to send me those negatives: she knows me well.

thank you so much Miia for your wonderful surprise! I will soon mail her back the negatives and I will also include the prints for her to keep.
