Developing in Los Angeles

[Gabe Diaz]

Hey y'all,

Wanting to get introduced to developing my own film. I've watched about a dozen tutorials, read forums, articles, etc. Done some research to try a water bath / Paterson Film Tank-type developing. I was wondering if anybody here did this and was located in Los Angeles. Or even better, if someone has a darkroom or access to one. Would be great if I can sort of be a wallflower while someone with experience does this. Thank you!

Dear Gabe,

Try looking here. I saw a few promising darkrooms in your area that might at least get you in contact with some folks who would be willing to help you out.

Good luck,

Neal Wydra

welcome to apug...

not bad for a first attempt!!!!

it is easier to be a fly on the wall while someone else does it... i'm sure there's a bunch of folks around LA.
