[pure-silver] Re: Becky Lynn's darkroom

This reminds me of the biggest darkroom I ever worked in: the great outdoors. I used to process 4x5 film in a combi-tank, and then print the negatives outside in the sunlight on paper coated with cyanotype emulsion. (I rinsed them inside, in a darkened room.)
It was also very pleasant because you could look around during the eight minutes or so that it took to expose the paper. Sometimes I weeded the garden while waiting.

The smallest darkroom I've worked in was three sandwich boxes in a changing bag. I was developing and contact printing large format film. Very pleasant sitting out at dusk in the south of France, watching the last of the sunset light creep away from the remains of a Moorish castle on the ridge across the valley and sipping a little of the local red! 
All the best

Since when does it matter what a darkroom looks like?  Is it
functional?  Does it serve its purpose?  Is it ventilated??  If so Id
work in a camper, closet, tractor trailer rig, or just about anywhere
else.  I might draw the line at a goatshed or chicken coop, but not
much would be ruled out.
