General Photography Galleries

2. Enter the darkroom, not a place to fear with spiders, and creepy thinks that go bump in the night, but a place for experimentation, creativity and just plan fun. The digital age of darkrooms are so much different than when I was learning photography, the smell of the chemicals fixer and stop bath filled the air the drying of prints hanging all over the place and if I wanted a glossy I would have to ferrotype it before RC papers were a standard. The first thing I always looked for when I moved was to see what room would work for a darkroom, seal it off so it was black as the night even during the most sunny days. For me long gone are safe lights, enlargers, and grain focusers, I have found a new medium where I don’t need all the fancy setup and trays to process. Simply "DIGITAL" is the way to go. Check out the daylight part of my site here: thanks for stopping by.
   I have been drawn into shooting portraits, all my new work, galleries, and photoblog can be found here:
