>> Ted - I loved reading about all of your makeshift darkrooms!  I hope all
of this is in the book you are writing. ;-)   It reminded me of all of my
closet and bathroom darkrooms before I got the really nice one that I have
now and never use!  It also reminded me that Irene is a saint. ;-)<<<<

 

Hi Tina,

Thank you!

Actually I never thought about the darkroom side of the photo life story in
the book. But it'll surely be part of it now. Thanks for suggesting it. 

Lot's more fun stuff that could be added as a kind of chapter on the days of
darkroom revelry/stupidity! :-)  Turning the white lights on too fast and
the lid off the paper box! :-( And doing that more than once! :-) Damn! 

Oh! And one from Paris on assignment and rush prints were required. :-) Not
involving me directly, nor aware any one else was in the darkroom room until
the sounds of heavy breathing started! :-) Sorry you'll have to wait for the
book for the end to that one! ;-) 

Cheers,

ted
