i honestly think that darkrooms are an aquired taste...i have always been
taught how to use photoshop throughout my college ciriculum. and can honestly
say exactly what you have just said, duncan. you can easily photoshop and give
a piece effects but for some reason for me, i'd rather run the valves and get
the timing perfect then just fire up the car and drive off.
that was a pretty cool metaphor for me.
but, with all that said, i haven't been in a dark room in over 4 years now...i
miss it and i am saving my pennies so i can convert my basement into a dark
room/ ceramics studio in the near future...these are both things that i loved
doing that i truely miss....i hate doing shit on the computer. it just seems to
take the life out of art imho.

Hijacked: Re: OT - Digital camera questionI'm not weighing in on the camera
other than to say: optics. Regardless of the format.Darkroom work, huh? NOW I
have something to say. I was a master B&W darkroom technician. And I sucked as
a color tech. I know I'm asking you to accept that at face value and nothing I
"say" will sway you one way or the other. With that said, I can do things in
photoshop in MINUTES that used to take DAYS in the darkroom. In B&W and color,
too. H#ll, I can do things in photoshop that could never be done in the
darkroom. I will never go back into a darkroom. Ever.Oh, shooting film can be
compared to driving a bus. There's something there that can't be gotten from
shooting digital.. .or driving a water-cooled automatic. Think of me as that
vw mechanic that never, ever wants to see another bus again. I sold all my
commercial gear, which was old school film, and never looked back. The only
film camera you'll see me use today are those point-and-shoot boxes you find at
the checkout counter.

My brother used to do that when we were kids. He's as non artistic as they
come, but could photograph and develop some B&W photos that would make a pro
take notice. He still has his old school Nikon. He got a nice digi camera, but
went back old school almost immediately.

camera question
save money and develop your own film ;-) the upfront will cost alot but the end
product will be alot cheaper and you will have better control over what you do
as apposed to taking it somewhere to have it developed/printed. i'm oldschoool
when it comes to that....actually, i am kinda in the market right now for dark
room equipment

camera questionDate: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:06:01 -0500
I really love photography but it is an expensive hobby. For a film camera it
is like 40 cents +/- every time you click the shutter not counting the cost of
the camera or having enlargements made. I have been thinking about stepping up
to a nice Digital SLR camera but they are a little pricey. Does anyone have
one they? If so can you share your cost benefit analysis?
Thanks
