RE: STARTING POINT
DEAR BARRY, Thanks for the additional tips! And thanks for letting me know that someone enjoyed my reminiscences. CHEERS!

I use an ISO of about 5 -10. One thing to remember is that the range of paper is not the same as film, in that certain colors register differently.(otherwise you couldn't use a safelight). This is of course especially fun with a multigrade paper. Because different colors seem to register different ways I use different ISO's for indoor tungsten light (5) and outdoor solar light (10). Also , I have noticed that the negative is a lot more contrasty when I use it indoors than outdoors. I don't know why. By the way, I have always enjoyed your comments from your days as a photographer in New York.
