Double the fun



Long before the Internet, when photographic magazines were king, you would always find a slew of articles on darkroom techniques amidst their pages as autumn moved into winter. These were designed to tie-in with what was traditionally known as the "darkroom season" for the enthusiast; a time to put the camera down and spend the long winter nights printing negatives shot during the summer months. It was only the very hardy (or those oblivious to tradition), that ventured outside with their cameras as the nights drew in.

That never seemed like good sense to me, because it is only at this time of year that I start to shoot with any conviction. Sure, it's colder out there, and I haven't made a wet print in I don't know how many years; but miss all the fun with that glorious light? No chance.
