[Leica] IMG: Bird Photos

[Jim Nichols]

In the late 50s and early 60s I had a darkroom in a similar arrangement 
in an earlier house.  My enlarger and trays are still packed in the 
attic from a double move in 66 & 67.  I intended to set it up again in 
this one, but life got in the way.  And then, along came digital.
