Very cool shot and it might be a good way to introduce him into darkroom burning – well, if it were b/w and all. But still, it’s a good opportunity to teach him about working on the contrast (via exposure) betwixt dog and flooring.

How old is your brother?

College freshman. He got a Nikon N75 for Christmas and I started him out on some nice C41 black and white films that he can develop at a minilab and still get pictures that will make him feel a little bit more confident about his first pictures.

He’s in Austin, so he has a number of resources for darkroom printing available to him — while I wouldn’t expect him to get started on that right now, I’m happy he has that around for when he does.
