Subject: [pure-silver] Finally able to get back in the darkroom
This year I was going to go in a different direction, photographically.
Sold my studio lighting & backdrops, planned to do more location work ,
primarily 4x5. Had a couple projects in mind. Then, as usually happens with
plans, the whole thing got derailed.
I had my annual physical in late May, along with a routine chest x-ray.
The x-ray showed "something, but we're not sure what is is", which lled to a
cat scan, a pet scan, an MRI, more x-rays & finally surgery in late July.
Turned out to be stage 1b lung cancer. The surgeon removed the lower lobe of
my right lung and several lymph nodes. The cancer was still encapsulated, and
the lymph nodes were all clear. No evidence of cancer anywhere so all I need
are follow up x-rays every 4 months & an annual cat scan for a couple years.
So, I finally felt good enough to get back in the darkroom last week.
TF-5 fixer arrived from the Formulary, so on Friday & mixed a gallon, along
with a gallon of Ansco 130. Then on Saturday I made a few contact sheets, just
to get back in the groove. It was a bit tiring & the area around the incision
is still pretty sore, but it sure felt good to be back in the darkroom.
