Digital BW, The Print

Interesting how we manage this... I remember my first apartment... 
First used a spare bedroom with tinfoil taped in the windows and 
carried buckets of water in to mix chemicals etc...

Built the house I live in now almost 20 years ago... The deal with my 
wife was that she could design everything else, but I got a killer 
darkroom...6 foot sink with 3 temp faucets, overhead safelight and 
stereo speakers and nice fan in a 14x6 room... No wasted space, but 
all I needed.

Kind of interesting how the evolution to digital went... Started by 
having printers in the sink, then had the sink ripped out and now 
have a horseshoe counter with the same relatively small standing 
space (3x6 with a tall stool)... But all the comforts I appreciated 
in a darkroom. It's only after completing the conversion that I see 
the fallacy of it... I no longer need a DARKroom... What I am dying 
for is a WINDOW <g>. (if this is my worse complaint, I must have it 
pretty good <g>). I think I can pretty easily build a larger shelf 
under the counter and sort of go "vertical" downwards with some 
grommets for wiring etc... Great to have new challenges...

would love to see some of your work on the 7000... Looking forward to 
a print exchange you are in.
