I'm writing to let everyone know about a publicly-editable Google Sheet, where
people worldwide can list, donate, and receive, unused darkroom equipment. The
sheet is located here: http://bit.ly/2o735A5
While clearing out excess possessions some years back, I listed my first
enlarger + a bunch of accessories on Craigslist Free Stuff. I was contacted
shortly thereafter, and happily gifted the equipment.
A few days later, I was contacted by someone who was yearning for equipment,
but I had nothing left to give her. I have never forgotten that, as I was once
young and poor and yearning to express myself photographically.
A March 20, 2017 Washington Post story by John Kelly about his late-in-life
foray into analog photography [http://bit.ly/2ob8tDN], mentioned that he had ;
been contacted by several readers who have equipment "collecting dust in the
basement," which they'd like to give away. I've read too many sad tales on
listserves and facebook groups, and have myself been witness, to enlarging
equipment being thrown out as trash.
Nothing would make me happier than to see this never happen again - short of a
worldwide renaissance of analog photography!
I would appreciate it very much if you would disseminate this as you see fit,
and if you have any suggestions about how to improve the list, I'd be grateful
to receive them.
Thanks in advance,
Adrienne
