The Darkroom

Well, this darkroom is more of just a dark room — a space that can get fully light tight, but it's never been set up to really operate efficiently. It started decades ago when Ye Olde Photographer was given some drywall and two-by-fours. Then we went through a period where it was being used enough to not want to do much remodeling. After that, it was pretty much a storage closet for twenty years or so. Along the way we did get a water and drain line in, but have never worked out an appropriate sink and cabinet arrangement. Eh — one of these days! There is ventilation, that can be quite important.

Anyhow, we will occasionally toss in a shot of some of the equipment — or processes where it's possible — to maybe provide some sense of the wet darkroom process.
