My brother built my darkroom. When he was done with the bones of it, it was my job to make the room light tight. I figured I’d need a cheap caulk gun and a few tubes of caulk and I’d be done in an evening. But it was incredibly difficult to make the darkroom, well, dark. Click here to watch...

I enjoyed reading this entry. I have done the tiniest bit of experimenting with pinhole photography, but not a lot. Every time I turn around, I feel like I see some new really cool pinhole project. You did a nice job of shooting your test photos in an area with a lot of lines, so it was easy to...

Feel better, George! The list will get done when it gets done, no pressure.

I'm in for 10 again.

Oh I've got it! @RalphLambrecht has been so generous in sharing PDFs here for various chapters that I read a few and knew it was worth the price. It's one of my go-to books.

I'm in for 10 again--and I actually have a print in mind, which should hopefully keep me on the earlier end of the curve. Assuming I can focus on it.

I finally have all of my photos printed and spotted. I was really battling dust this time. I suspect it's the cold weather. I work in the basement and it's been really dry. I've also been having an issue occasionally getting a spray of tiny spots on prints. The spots are pure white or a pale...

I received the egg photo from @mshchem. This reminds me of driving to my friend's house, six hours away. Driving through Iowa, I see a lot of signs like this or signs for harvest festivals. Nice print.
