It took about 18 hours of darkroom work to create those. I tend to be a perfectionist, so I'm pretty sure I create about twice as many test strips as anyone else to get the contrast and exposure just right.

And - sleuthing does come naturally to me. It's a lot like puzzles that have kept my mind occupied my entire life. I'll try to post the original images tomorrow - but I've got 6 hours of classes before I get a break!
