[pure-silver] Re: Diafine

Hi Jim,
Lucky! you live right next door to the candy store. Just reading your description, I'm drooling.
One thing that has to be taken into account, is the population size of Canada. Our entire population equals the population of Southern California. So if only 5% of our population still does analog photography, wet darkrooms and all, then that 5% is spread pretty thin, in a country that is the second largest in the world, in terms of square footage. Whereas 5% in So Cal makes for a large number in a small area, all things considered. 

Anyway, consider yourself lucky.

And start stocking up the freezer  ;)

Cheers,
Bogdan

For the moment, I'm pretty lucky. Keeble & Shuchat Photography in Palo Alto CA has a very large darkroom department. On the floor, 20+ enlargers, a couple of JOBO's, easels, trays for processing up to 20x24 prints, mounting supplies, portfolios, a ton of used stuff, and, perhaps 10-15 different developers, several fixs, several shelves of formulary chemistry, and color chemistry up the wazoo - they stock Cibachrome chemistry, and a half dozen other processes. And paper - an entire wall of B&W paper, and two fridges full of color paper. There's more darkroom stuff here than in all of the San Francisco stores combines (Calumet, Gasser, etc.) 

As I said, I am really lucky!

Have you checked the chemical supply in the tiny darkroom section in the back corner at your local photo store lately and the clerk doesn't know what Diafine is!!!!
