To get the effect I got with the harsh borders with softness next to them, it was on purpose. I knew the paper wasn't flat at the edges, and light reflects easily off the colour whit. Like I said, I could've done it all in photoshop, with an exact level of blur, with perfectly straight lines and whanot, but it doesn't seem natural to me (remember, just my opinion, I'm the largest advocater of photoshop you can find, its powerful, and a blessing to have, but some things i like to do a different way). This piece didn't take long to print from enlarger to enlarger, maybe 2 minutes. The cutting out of the me's, and the paper itself, took long enough, but if I were in photoshop, and wanted to cut out everything so well, I'd magnify myself to know end, and do it very nitpickingly. I'm a darkroom guy when it comes to printing, but hopefully I'll surprise you all with my entrance for the site wide hallowe'en contest using only photoshop... or maybe I'll just suck!
