For the Student Gallery Exhibit of FloArts I wanted to do three large darkroom prints. The largest I've printed was on 11x14 in paper. Completing the project using 20x24 paper was a task that required persistence and the help from Walter Lara, my photography professor. Each print took an hour to complete. These three works come together to represent my time as a photography student at FloArts and my life's theme, a focus on the people around me and nature.
