selenium toning is for both perfection and archival purposes.

i dont use it. i dont even fix for the full six minutes, let alone rinse for thirty.

like anyone has that kind of time

but i wish i did. id make some amazing prints granted the gift of a free evening.

but like always

i get "home" (this place will never be quite that) and shower and leave again for work

never get home before midnight

never sleep til 2

up again at 6 or 7 or 8. whenever i cant fiegn sleep any longer.

all the while wondering what my dream meant.

you were in it. and i thought about it all day.

saw you twice.

and now i cant stop thinking of how different it would be

how exciting

how freeing and careless

if i had the time

if i werent tied.

i wonder...
