a bit about our workflow

i thought i'd write a bit about our workflow, er, works. we shoot independently, (of course) but come together as a team to get our film from negative to scan and/or print.
since most of our shooting occurs on saturday and/or sunday, the majority of our developing/printing/scanning is also done during this limited timeframe.
so once we have our rolls of film completed, of course the first step is preparing them to develop, i.e., spooling the film. this is one of tim's fortes. :) i think he has probably set a landspeed record numerous times with both (very troublesome) rolls of 35mm and 120. i will note that i can spool film, however, it usually takes me twice as long and can be extremely frustrating to me.
so once the film is spooled and nestled in the tank, here's where i come into play. i enjoy the chemical developing process more than the aforementioned or the next to be said step(s). tim has done plenty of developing, however, i take pride in being accurate with timing and temperature, rinsing, checking the fixing time, and rinsing, and rinsing (and adding a bit of dishsoap in the final rinse).
and then, there is the drying of the film, which under normal circumstances i will hang the negs in the bathroom on a clothes hanger + several binder clips for up to 24 hours. however, when the weather cooperates, tim once had the bright idea to hang the negatives from our clothesline to dry which reduces drying time significantly. (about 20 minutes per roll.) he also does the same for wet spools with an apparatus made from a metal clothes hanger. our house is located on the edge of a cliff for all intents and purposes, so we get a lot of wind!
once the negatives are dry, my next and final step is to scan. i use a canoscan 8800f with the stock negative holders. i shoot predominately 120, and unfortunately i broke the upper half of the negative holder off some time ago so i must carefully load the negative into the holder to ensure a somewhat decent scan. i use the software that came with the scanner, with all "enhancements" off, and it's set to calibrate for each scan. 99% of the time i do not tweak my scans nor do any post "tweaking."
This is Tim writing the rest of this.  I do not like to scan things, but sometimes I must, to get them onto the internet for others to see.  I prefer to make my own prints, and I think that is the most fun thing there is to do in photography.  I use a beseler 23c-II with a condenser head.  I also have the colorhead for it.  I also have another enlarger, a Bogen model 22.  It is a condenser as well.  I am fortunate to have a 6x6 negative holder for the beseler and also a schneider lens for it, which makes dundyful pictures.  I have the capability to make 5x7, 8x10, and 11x14 prints at this point.  I highly recommend the beseler 23c family of enlargers.
