Description

This is me working in the darkroom in the newspaper I worked for. Picture is from 1977 and I can still smell the fumes from the developer and fix. Photoshop dont smell that good. Notice the state of the art Leitz Focomat IIc. Used a Nikon F3 for this shot and I am in the rinsing stage so I could put the lights on..........

Oh, how things have changed. I grew up watching my dad develop film and print pictures in a room similar to this... Very nostalgic...and a superb photo too.

I first took photography in High School just a few years ago haha and we learned all this, what great memories. It looks very similar to some of the equipment we used. Great to see this.
