The Wet Darkroom

My small (6'x6') garage-based darkroom has been used more in the last few years for developing and contact printing large format; although I have Besseler 4x5 and 23C enlargers, it's mostly contact prints that I like doing; the enlargers end up being used as contact printing light sources.

I recently made a portable processing box for developing paper and sheet film negatives out in the field; sometimes in the winter, when it's too inconvenient to heat up the darkroom, I use the portable box in the comfort of my kitchen. Here's a thread on the subject.

Hello all.

I still print in a darkroom because I really enjoy it and I feel connected to all the other great photographers who went before me. Sat at a computer (like now), I feel like some sort of geeky, monkey-muppet (whatever that is).

Computers are, of course, convenient but it's not much of an experience.

Happy printing.

PETE.
