Oh the days when my darkroom doubled as my bedroom, or bathroom, or living room. Only 5 months ago I took the enlarger out of the bedroom, boxed it up, and put it in storage, (which is one step before the garbage). I found 2yr old dektol under the bed, it stained the porcelain on its way down the drain. I rent darkroom space when I need it.

LOL!! I've thought of having a couple of little dishes of fixer next to
mine for the smell..but I have no sense of smell, so....of course I
could spill some fixer, Dektol and stop bath on the floor of my office
to get the right ambiance...:-)

Good point BD. In the darkroom, it's the mood lighting which adds to
the magic. That why I keep a lava lamp next to my computer.

I'm sure the comments aren't a troll - these are important issues, and
issues that are troubling to many members of this group. I would point
out though that I find amusing your description of digital photography
as seeming "not a little bit like magic" - given that one so often hears
the traditional darkroom process described in precisely those same
words.

Good question... Richard is, of course, as some of us are, heavily
invested in silver halide photography and view the digital electronic
media with the unease born of ignorance. I freely admit to being born a
bit too early to be at ease with the digital (read computer) world as my
children and grandchildren are. They seem to be born understanding it's
principles and methods. To me it is a means to an end, another method
of communicating and a novel means of capturing images. But I am an
analog person. I look at a CD or DVD (or tape for that matter) and don't
see an image. I look at a negative or trany and see an image or a
potential pix.
Down in my monkey brain (core) computers and digital photography seem
not a little like magic. The jury's still out whether or not it's black
or white magic.
Thanks for letting me muse a bit... and this is NOT intended as a
troll...
