use film cameras mainly.

Well, there's a bit more. When we were packing to move back here I
just had too much stuff so I donated my Omega B22 and all darkroom
stuff, just too much to deal with. I have found one box that has
some trays, dried tongs, and other stuff in it. I have no idea who
could use this but I may find someone who wants it.
In San Diego I actually had a darkroom with a vent fan, and various
accessories, but no running water. No water wasn't a big deal but
the vent was great to get rid of hypo smell, which is nice but only
for a few minutes.
Starting around 1990 I did only color negatives and had them
processed at CostCo or at Kodak via CostCo. They always came back
with prints as well as an index sheet, and a CD. I got to like the
convenience so I will probably stay all digital now, too much to do
at age 80 to do any photo chemical work myself and there are very few
places that do good work anymore. I have a garage full of 16X20 and
20X24 prints, some I did, and some done by some good shops in San Diego.
No place to display them, this house is now filled with art work.
