On the days when you have to work in the darkroom is it not always a picture perfect day?

The sun came blazing out from behind rain clouds. Works better than an umbrella. Mark :-) Rabine - ---- Hi again Fellas.... I smile at your comments because I love the best of both situations. I'll never get the developer and hypo out of my veins...nor the tantalizing aroma of the darkroom... since developing and printing that first roll of 116 Orthochromatic roll film...in a 5x7 tray of developer by the sea-saw method...and making the contact prints under the dim glow of a Red safelight bulb...in the bathroom at night...when I was a mere lad of 9 years age...back in 1942. Thousands of rolls, negatives and prints coursed through my veins since that time ...when the Secrets of Real MAGIC unfolded before my eyes...a moment I will never forget...even a thousand years from now when I'm a Highlander Immortal. In the same respect...outdoors weather means something very special to a real diehard photographer...whether the sun is shining brightly..or Autumn's cloudy days...or Summer's pouring rains...or Winter's freezing beautiful snowfalls and snowman making time. It's ALL there for us to capture the Elusive Moment....just a fraction of a second of time...which will never come again for all eternity...is captured on film for posterity...through the MagicProcess we know and enjoy...by the name of "PHOTOGRAPHY". I thank you for your comments, gents...and bringing back beloved memory for just one more glorious time...God Bless you all...and hope your camera is as good and meaningful to you...as mine has been to me...for these past momentous fleeting decades of time...
