buy a 4x5 or 10x8 and contact print, no more if onlys. contacts are the best quality no question.

then concentrate on a few good pictures instead of a roll of crappy ones

Yeah this will solve pretty much nothing. It's not the equipment or the medium.

oh well , bad paulie for trying to help.

this tortured sole is getting hung up on tech issues and needs to simplify, contact printing is the cure to this problem

The OP is going through a normal phase. Trying to tell him how to do things specifically it's not a productive way to trying to take him out of this stage.
This is a very good stage actually, since what's next is a found voice.
Some people like contact printing, some can't stand it (I can't stand it).

I think one of the most important things to keep in mind, at least for me, is a spin off of someone's signature here. Art is both a noun and a verb. And as such it is doing and seeing.

Another thing to remember is that we do not make art. Art makes us.
