Darkroom Portraits

Are you interested in building your first darkroom? Do you wonder what a real home darkroom looks like? Have you wondered if you can have a darkroom even if your space is small? Are you a digital photographer just mildly curious what all this old technology is about?

APUG has a forum topic that I visit often. It is the Darkroom Portraits discussion they’ve had. If you want to see pictures of darkrooms ranging from tiny, makeshift, bathroom based darkrooms through entry level up to darkrooms that are works of art themselves, this is where you need to go. You will be able to see how people layout and organize their darkrooms.

To see the pictures, be sure you register for APUG, the Analog Photography User Group. It is a very good photography resource. It is well worth your time to dig into photography there.

Street Photography

I haven’t done any street photography for a loooonnnggg time. This weekend is the weekend for it though. The weather is nice and I have a burning urge to take some urban pictures.

Simply put, there is so much at this site, that I would do it a disservice to call out many of the topics. For this one, you’ll just have to go thee
