NPR news, tv news or nothing most of the time. Now...back in the 70's when I lived in L.A. I listened to Dr Demento in the wet darkroom.
I don't like PP all that much. Right now I have to do about 125 to 150 images for a Blurb book. I hate it. I did 50 images in 3 or 4 days. It feels like a never ending job. Each image is a one at a time job. Some of them may have over a dozen versions.
My personality wont let me do much else until the PP is done. Then I have to do book design. But I can take my time on that. But until I have the pix done, the book seems up in the air to me. After PP I print them all out and do a final revise. Then do a layout of the work prints for the design.
Luckily I was through writing for the books when I finished book #1. I wont have to write much until I get to book #10. With books # 2 to #9, I only have to write a 1 or 2 page intro and the rest is pix. I like that. I hate having to write.
PP is of the utmost importance in any case. Look at this example from a negative I just found last month after being lost for 40 years. (Nude warning)

The neg was terrible, underexposed and contrasty. Only light was the window. But even if Ansel Adams printed it, he is not going to get 2.5 hours of computer D&B into a 30 second exposure wet darkroom print.
