"The first part of taking this print out of the contact printer is squeezing these clips in the back, and that pulls it out. And here I have a piece of foam and my print and my negative. It's really important when you're printing with contact printing frames to remember your negative. Seems silly, but when you're getting excited about doing all this, it's really easy to lose the negatives. So I always try to remember where's my negative. The other thing to watch out for, on some occasions I've seen it be so humid in places where I'm printing, the negatives actually sticking to the paper. I've seen people pour it right in like that.

That's exactly what you want to look for. So I'm pretty excited this one's going to work out. The next step is going to be for me putting it in water."
