Darkrooms--Does anybody still develop film?

msue · #1 05-18-2005, 03:06 AM

I am preparing for a garage sale and am debating whether to put my darkroom equipment in the sale. Unfortunately it has been packed away in a closet for 20 years (where did they go). I only used the equipment for a short time then I got pregnant and was afraid to use the chemicals, then we moved, and then time just slipped past me. I got everything out a couple years ago or was it 5 and was going to see if I could remember how to do anything, but found I couldn't purchase the small batches of chemicals any more and didn't want to invest in gallons.

I moved this thread here to the Pub. I thought it would be a better forum than Digital Manips for the subject.

Thanks for the tip. I think I'm going to keep it in its closet for the moment. There is a Wolf Camera store going in near my house. I'll go in there and check things out again when they open. Never know I might finally drag it out and see if I remember anything. Like most of my art, photo printing was being self taught.
