[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Photography is becoming a mutual interest for my 10 year old son and I. He's using my Nikon gear while I hoard the Leicas :-). At the moment, we're still exploring picture taking technique, but I am starting to think of what I want to do next with improving the final result. As a child, I was lucky enough to walk over to a public darkroom at the Police Athletic League in Chinatown. I had a wonderful coach in a volunteer professional photographer. Nowadays, darkroom facilities are an endangered species, especially out in suburbia land. We have the space for a wet darkroom now. I've been thinking of acquiring a V.35 and building a complete setup. On the other hand, we also have at our disposal no shortage of Macs and PCs with Photoshop or Photodeluxe and a good photo printer. I'm a total novice at this software programs, and haven't invested the time to get the results I truly want yet. As a result, I am more comfortable being a coach in a wet darkroom than a modern digital one. What would you do ? John Gong
