My Darkroom smells like poop

I hold it in until I get to work. Might as well get paid.

Next we will be boweling for dollars.

I am surprized that no one has mentioned some obscure method of developing film by exposing it to toilet fumes yet.

My suggestion, Put the toilet back in. You'll have place to sit down and it will eliminate those time wasting bathroom breaks while you are printing.

Well, human urine does contain pyrocatechin...

It's amazing how putting your hands into a tray of Dektol brings on a healthy bowel movement.

For me, going dark and sliding the film into the developer works better than Ex Lax.

But is it archival? How long will the shit last?

My darkroom also smells like poop. But thats because the cat's litter box is nearby!

The nice thing about working in a darkroom is that if you need to pee, there are always plenty of bottles handy. You just better remember where you put it down in the dark. You don't want confuse it with your developer or worse, the beer that you were drinking that probably caused the need to evacuate in the first place.

Speak for yourself oh anatomically correct built one!

Reminds me of when I was a Navy photographer on an aircraft carrier, and at morning quarters one day, our chief admonished us "you guys have GOT to stop pissing in the processing sink!"

things are probably a lot different now that all ships are now co-ed.

Well, the toilet seat did stay there for about three years while I used the darkroom, but I never really used it, I guess afraid that it didn't work anymore (the room was a forgetten storage) and something horrible would happen with my creations. The pipe could leak them into the darkroom or the pipe was possible that was either closed or leading somewhere that it wasn't supposed to.
Now, the toilet seat cannot go back there as its space is used by the new sink.

It would be cool if someone came up with a shitty or pissy developer. You could develop then anywhere! Unless you had rice for lunch that is. The problem would be that it wouldn't be consistent as it would depend on the creator's diet.

Its not our fault that God did not bless you with a little hose!
I guess Freud was right...

(time to move this to the soap box and I am moving to Antartica)

 

[hortense]

BIG hole below sink!

All you guys and Aggie are cracking me up. Stop it. Wife thinks I'm nuts laughing in from to my computer. Aristotelis you started all this!

 

[arigram]

I know I know I am sorry but I lost control I can't seem to stop it I...
OH MY GOD!
I have created a MONSTER!

Its alive!
Run for your lives!

The formula for "Pissinal" is:
Drink two cups of coffee, 20 oz of Doctor Pepper followed by a shot of Tequila then wait for a few minutes.

Developing time for Tri X is 5 minutes at 98.6 degrees F

I dread to think what you'll use for a sepia toner!

 

[arigram]

We don't have Doctor Pepper here
Damn, does that mean I need to import the chemicals?

Can't we just ask Ilford for a ready package?

I can see it now shitolsol. packaged and brought to you by Simon.

Please Moderators do not flush this thread. It is a breathe of fresh air in the latest load of other shitty threads.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how to maintain that high temperature for 5 mins? Any ideas spring to mind? Any locations?...

When ever I hear the term "cool beans" I think of someone farting ice cubes. Around here in the South West you have to cool your developers. So I guess you have to add a bit of my famous bean soup to Neals formula so you can cool the recipe he has down.

I feel like I'm back in elementary school with all of this potty-mouthed toilet talk. Oh, how juvenile!

Crap... I thought I checked out of this thread once and for all yesterday... how did I get back here?????

I agree! I think that we should report Ari to the moderators for starting this thread.
