I was just this week back in Portland Oregon where I'd spent most my life
going through my storage cubicle looking at my Beseler 5x7 cold light and
Omega D2V and Aristo VC Head. I refuse to just give the head away it feels
like the day before yesterday when I spent a grand on it and it changed my
darkroom life. The enlargers I may have to pay somebody to take out of
there.
However like 99.99% of all photogs my darkroom life is a past life. I
remember it as a dream.
I'm now shooting digital looking at my camera going "I wonder what this
button does?". No longer the master of my domain. I'm just figuring it all
out like everybody else.
I also came upon in my storage cubicle a box of enlarger glass mainly El
Nikkor's but I found a 100mm Schneider Componon which I got used at Pro
Photo Oregon for 70 bucks a few years ago and when I got back to my studio I
looked up the B&H price and it was like 500 bucks. Making it the best deal I
ever made in my photo existence. I can use in on my Viso system and possibly
rig it up to other camera systems one would thing. With enough super glue
and duck tape. The writing was all ready on the wall as to darkroom gear of
great value the day before yesterday now having close to zero value.
I look at as a positive though.
 its an exciting revolution time in photography for such a thing to be
happening. And we get to be in on it on the ground floor.
Any lecture I might be making on split printing or other darkroom or
photography work I did for decades falls under the heading of "history of
photography". In ten years it will go full circle and there will be a
resurgence of interest in shooting and maybe printing film. By then there
will be one company in Croatia making film for forty dollars a roll.
