I am obsessed with it. i can spend hours in there…..days even! *sigh* I haven’t used one since I moved from California. I was super lucky to have lived with a photographer who had built her own darkroom at the art loft….I lived above it, literally, on the roof of the darkroom. Some days I would easily spend 8 hours. I guess I share a love for cameras like my grandfather (mom’s side). He liked to collect them. I have been collecting cameras for 5+ years… Off the top of my head, I have….30+. they range from a 1904 brownie, to a 2007 canon sd. One of these days I will list my cameras on this blog. Some people (*ahem*, lorenzo) don’t believe I own that many….. 🙂 As you can tell, I have total love, respect and passion for cameras, film and the darkroom. I have a full darkroom put away at my parents garage in San Diego. sooo far away….. Once I have the space in NY to build it, i will bring all my things out. meanwhile, I need to find someone with one they don’t mind sharing (emailll meeee). I have asked around the city, and the cheapest is ABC no Rio for 6$ an hour. I believe they are renovating, so might be out of service for a bit. Otherwise, gotta look into paying about 15-20$/hr average for a darkroom in manhattan. If you have any questions about darkroom experiences, ask away. or if you would like a certain ‘how to’, just let me know. And if you know of anyone who has a darkroom available, please let me know. I will supply chemicals and paper , etc etc….
