I wish I was taking a photography class this semester! I miss the dark room
FM10 or the Mamiya NC1000 really depends on my mood.
Yea, the darkroom has a smell and and feel that you either love or hate. The brown stained fingers and smell of stop bath. Great, ain't it? I really mis all that, ne day I'll break out the gear and set it up again. For all I know, my enlarging lenses might be full of fungus. I'd be a shame, they were great in there day.
So John when is the Photo going to be published?
I'm not sure if it will be this month or nexts issue that is being marked up. With a 2-3 month lead it might be May or June before it's in print.
Oh I know, I miss it like crazy! I haven't been in the dark room for about 4 years! *sigh*
I want to buy a house so I can make a room into my own personal dark room.. Kev is fighting me on it.. But by damnit I want one!
Digital is the way of the future....
Dark room.. Is the true form of art...!
I have a tough question for you two...
Any photoholics out there?
Have you ever played with an old Nikkormat? Heavy as a brick that you can drive nails with, but a great rugged old rig. I have several, but love to use them with an old hand-held Gossen meter and a 50mm f/1.4. You can probably find one for around 25-50.00. There a lot of fun.
Yea, in 5-10 years film might be the very expensive and rare art form. Chemistry might be made by the artist with home mixed chemistry. There may be no commercial chemicals made by that time. It would be a shame.
