Me too! I had a darkroom in every place I lived from 1973 through 2001. The smell of stop bath, fixer, and other chems still lingers in my memory.

Damn digital. No artistic talent needed. Just put it into Photoshop and manipulate till you have something decent. No hand dodging, burning, toning, or talent needed.

Oh, do please post some pictures you took and developed. That would be so exciting to see.

The only smell like that that I can remember is gun cleaning fluid. That’s a smell that stays with you, too.

My darkroom experience was a photography class in93.

I learned a lot.

It was fun making contact aheets and doing manual manipulation.
