Man you said it, I think I'm addicted to it. I'm finding myself spend hours in front of the enlarger trying to perfect the prints I make and get them to look just right! I've only been doing this for a short while and I'm hooked! :D
 
I think I'm going to be addicted, too. I did my first print over the weekend. I have 5 hours of free darkroom access (between classes) which I thought seemed excessive when I first took the class - now, I can see it ain't nearly enough time!! :p

I'm pretty happy with my first print, except it dried down too dark - by maybe 10%. I even did a little dodging but should have done a little more. I was getting this close to the perfect print. Only hunger and exhaustion drove me away at last. Well, that, and my 5 hours was up. I have to wait till Wednesday before that particular timer is re-set. :wink: Can't wait to get back in there.
