This can never be stressed long enough.
Darkroom work is Therapeutic.
Heals. Reconnnects.
Many things:
-Keeps your mind alert and tickles the critical side of thinking, in an intense yet relaxed way.
-Lots of fine motricity involved
- Combine your darkroom sessions with listening to podcasts, audio-books!! Get out of each printing session a little smarter than before. When is the last time you sat by the fire and read a book? Listened c-a-r-e-f-u-l-y to any album from your favorite artists?
Well, the darkroom is your best possible ally in this.
- Learn a new language! Perfect the ones you need perfecting. No jokes, listen to audio courses and repeat loudly, while printing, in the dark.
No jokes my friends. Within a year you will have learned any language of your choice.
- You are standing 2-3-4 hours straight. Very good. Now continue, don’t give up.
- In the end of each session you also end up with beautiful prints as an extra gift for all the above. The prints are almost a by-product of the time you invested in Yourself.
- It’s cheap. Yes! Buy a box of 5x7 250 sheets, cut them in half and you have 500 3.5x5 sheets. Small prints are a beautiful thing, and they make everyone happy. Print and share.
Don’t be silly, start now. ALOHA! NIHAO!
