This idea is great I can feed two of my addictions from the same machine *runs off to brew coffee*

You still need a light tight tank even though you are in a dark bathroom, it is almost impossible to get all of the light out... Been there tried that..


Oooh that makes me want to get some black and white film and go shoot a roll but I don't have anymore chemicals OR access to a freakin dark room...

Which adds another stick to the damn fire!! I was looking up classes last night, and I found out that they added 2 classes to my photography degree that they didn't offer when I was getting that degree.. AND now I can't take them...
GRUNT will this punishment never end!!

Well if you had the light tight tank you use coffee and washing soda for a developer, A sink full of water + vinegar for a stop bath and the replace the stop bath with salt water for a fixer and wait a few hours (say 10) and you've developed a roll of film... Or so they say.

I'm thinking at least the fixer would be worth buying.

Or you could do it with the proper chemicals and be done in less than an hour... Hmm which is more worth it to me??? Hmmmm

Me too.. There aren't enough hours in the day as is.. I can't imagine waiting 10 hours for the film to fix!

Got any ideas as to where I should go to get equipment? Craigslist has nothing under $300 and I would think shipping would be killer from ebay.

Oooh the things I could do with that!!!... Hmm.. I haven't even bid on it and I am already getting excited!

Proof there is such thing as an addiction to photography...
I have the excited shakes/gitters.. hahahaha

 

[monkeykoder]

Heck if I had that much money in my account we'd be bidding against each other... Right now I'm thinking I'll just buy a developing tank and some fixer maybe Action Camera will have some cheap used stuff they're pretty good for that.

I barely have that in my account.. Hmm...
I don't think Kev will let me do it.. I told him I would curb my spending habit...Why oh why did I do that....:banghead:ale:

I mean geez payday and student loans are going to be here on the 25th... Damn that is too far away... I can't get it!!!

 

[monkeykoder]

I'm sure there will be another one by then . I just need to wait until I get some people to tutor... I miss the $30 an hour I used to get when I was at a community college and peoples parents were still paying for them.
