To Stem Their Demise
Inside the front cover is this verbiage: "This is a silver gelatin, optical print of a camara minutera paper negative, prepared in the same manner as the traditional street portraitists of old, by photographer Joe Van Cleave."Post-Script: During today's extended printing session I used a grade 2 contrast filter over the lens, which resulted in smoother tones in the prints. This will probably be my default contrast setting going forward.
Here's a link to the Afghan Box Camera book. And here's a link to their website.

Your portraits all have a haunting, intense, rich look.
Year's ago when I was processing 2 1/4 x 3 1/4" film from my Speed Graphic, I cut the top off of an old motorcycle battery, and used the 3 compartments for the chemicals. It was heavy, made of hard rubber. Today, it would be plastic and lighter. Or think about stacking your trays with a slight offset. Developer on top, short stop in the middle, and fixer in the bottom.
