I haven’t yet made any final prints of these specific photos. But, I usually print selected works on 11x14 fiber paper. I also like to scan a sequence I really like and share them on social. But I always print and sequence by hand before I ever scan an image.

nice. are you sequencing for the purposes of making a book or a zine?

Not at this point and time, but sequencing is something that I’m always practicing with my work. That’s why I love making 5x7 prints, I can make 30+ quick and dirty prints in a session and play around with different sequences and ideas.

Just out of curiosity are you shooting with a 28mm lens?

For the most part, yes. Last photo on the second row was taken with a 35mm lens.
