Motcon talked about photography blue balls in a different forum. Along the same lines on the other side of the spectrum is darkroom bliss.
I've spent the evening developing sheet film in total darkness, listening to jazz (no singing, just the instruments, no light, no voices), and drinking beer. I developed 16 sheets of 4x5. I ended up with 13 good looking negs and 3 blanks.
One of the images was of a shot I forgot I took; it looks like a keeper. Another was a shot I'd been looking for. Somehow it got into a different box, and I'd been afraid that I'd somehow screwed it up and not exposed it. It looks like a good one too; I'm donating a print to the local arts center auction; I think this is it.
I feel productive, I'm excited to print, and I've got a buzz. Darkroom bliss.
