Oh, its okay! I love that print. The contrast is great I like it! Like I said, there probably isn't any detail in the highlights anyway, since you exposed for the face, which was in shadow. It works well in this picture.
The 00 filter is nice for filling in either your highlights or shadows (I forget which one.) I usually do things like that, but its important not to bump the enlarger also.
Say for instance your main exposure is something like 20 seconds with a grade 4. All you do with the 00 filter is expose for 2 seconds, and thats 10 percent. Although 2 seconds is really short for time. =/
As for models, I suck at getting them to take pictures. I have a few friends who like to take pictures, but most of them are too shy. But, it never ever hurts to ask. And if they say no, I sometimes slip it into conversation afterwards. Complain about how you can't take any pictures because you have no models and the like. whee
Its fun sometimes to pressure them to take pictures. Oh, and the sig is a randosiggy.

Yeah. I have trouble with shy friends too : ( Cept for my friend Grace, who is in a lot of my pictures (shes the person in the one I posted) as she is comfortable with herself and it tends to show in pictures taken of her. Hence why I take most of my pictures of her.
The problem with some people is that they aren't secure with who they are so it tends to show in photographs. They always look alarmed or nervous even if they were totally prepared for it. Heh.
Yeah I realized the sig was a rando one when I posted my comment and saw it had changed xD
Thanks for all ze help by the ways : )
I enjoy talking about photography and stuff with you ^_^
