[Leica] Any one still using their darkrooms

[afirkin at afirkin.com (afirkin@afirkin.com)]

Hi Marty,
Geoff and I were considering an Aussie LUG fest at some time, and when you 
are set up, I'd love to see your darkroom in action. I really enjoyed last 
weekend and the prints have a very nice "ring" to them. I still resist fibre 
in general, but I agree they do have a lovely sheen.

Cheers

I'm going to be setting one up in the next few weeks.  We just bought a 
house here in Adelaide with a spare room behind the garage, currently slated 
to become the darkroom.  It has a rainwater tank too, so I won't be wasting 
appalling amounts of water on washing (wash water will be collected and 
re-used on the garden).  Much of Southern Australia is currently very, very 
dry, despite floods in the North-East.

I agree with comments on the quality, art and general object-worship that a 
good fibre-base print engenders.

Marty

Most people can only judge of things by the experiences of ordinary life, 
but phenomena outside the scope of this are really quite numerous.
