but when it's all said and done, my print from the darkroom can and is sold
for $800. whereas, any epson printed print might net me a $100, (mainly
because of the presentation costs).

Not to mention hives from metol sensitivity, suffocation, the place burning
down because the plumbing interacted with the wiring, selenium poisoning,
newton rings, and ABOVE ALL the fact that you finally managed to get all the
burning dodging and bleaching right on one print doesn't guarantee for a
moment you'll get it right on the next... and even when you meticulously
annotate all your moves, you still can't replicate the damn thing.
