Me too, and I consider the smells, etc. as part of the process of photography
that I've loved
since I first took it up, or should I say, it took me.  I would never want 
to be
without a darkroom.
Getting from taking the picture to final result is a journey, like riding a
motorcycle - it's not just the destination, it's the trip.  I guess we're the
equivalent of black powder enthusiasts.
