#ScribesAndMakers Have you developed film in a dark room? What was the experience like?

A few times. It was like magic to put a sheet of photo paper in the developer and watch the image emerge. At one time, it was a life goal of mine to have a dark room. By the time I could afford one, the world had moved on. My employer had several dark rooms and, as they switched to Photoshop, I would see the enlargers and other equipment discarded on the loading dock. It hurt me to walk by them, every time.
