Often compared to an artist’s sketchbook, a contact sheet is the photographer’s first look at what he or she has captured on film, and provides a uniquely intimate glimpse into the working process. From January 20 through May 6, 2012, Magnum Contact Sheets will be on view at the International Center of Photography. See more here.

My favourite part of film photography is probably just the contact sheets themselves.
