First day of class!

[emayoh]

Today is my first day of darkroom class here at Newspace in Portland, OR! I signed up to learn how to make prints / enlargements. I'm pretty excited!

I've been perusing the classic threads here and am thankful to APUG for all the wisdom contained herein. I'm sure I will come back to my bookmarks again and again.

Wish me luck!

Just wait til you start pulling prints.

You will be mia to most of your non film shooting friends.

Have a blast!

Great to hear! I love being in the darkroom.

I took a film photography course last semester at our local community college to see if I liked darkroom work or not. I liked it so much I'm now taking over our bathroom from time to time.

Have fun!

Being in my darkroom for hours on end fine-tuning/obsessing over my prints are therapeutic/maddening. It's so much like photography.... (I'm an IT guy so being on computer is more like work)

Enjoy your darkroom time. It's like meditation/(oh, never mind)

Well said tkamiya. Chemical photography is a different work flow. It's more physical. It's more craft like. I would argue well done B&W prints look better than digital.
