no no I like the fact that it's blank

but there can still be detail, if it's not overexposed too much. the texture of the paper.

"Self Portrait: The Pieces I Put Together"

Oh, that's clever. I like that.

The problem with the paper being pure white is that it is perceived as being glowing, which looks rather unnatural and becomes distracting,

god i love that sirrus
aaaa i love it. i have a soft spot for self-portraits.

only thing i wish is that you were a bit sharper, seem a bit soft

Yes :\

I am either slightly out of focus, or I hit the "detail limit" on 100 ISO medium format film. I took that picture with a camera from the 1940's with no method of actually checking 100% if something is in focus other than looking at ground glass with a magnifying glass and using the distance ticks, so there's a possibility it's out of focus, but also, I had the enlarger raised up as high as it would go. It's normally a foot or so off the enlarging bench, and I moved it up maybe 3 feet or so off the bench. My image didn't even take up the entirety of the 6x6cm square of medium format film, but you have to understand, that piece of paper is 20x28", so even if I were perfectly in focus, I still think the details would end up a bit fuzzy.

idk film has a pretty high "detail limit" as you call it, especially medium format. much much better than digital at least.  i suspect either the camera or enlarger wasn't focused

[Sirrus]

In retrospect I would've taken it at a higher aperture. The issue was that I was just in such low light, it's hard :\

If you would prefer, I can edit out the white paper lines, since it is a tedious job. Or would you prefer that they would show because then, people could identify that it is paper, thus allowing people to know it was a photograph?

How do you mean? You mean those little corners of unexposed paper? I mean, this piece was meant to be seen in person, there's no point of editing anything out of that photo.
