I'd been thinking about dabbling in printing (again) and the corona-whatnot crystallised this into making a sketch of a bathroom-darkroom on the 28th March. I wasn't planning on doing my own processing (you can mess up as many prints as you like but a neg's a neg) but the lab I'd grown to like closed and I got bored, so I've been producing some quite nice negatives at the kitchen sink over the last few weeks.

Anyway, I'm closing in on a first print in the next week or so as I find the last few bits and bobs, and I look forward to being able to trawl FADU archives and maybe pick some brains.

I've always enjoyed architectural photography as I'm interested in buildings, and as I get older I realise that buildings are only as interesting as the people that use them... and I'd love to learn more about taking pictures of them.
welcome michael. This is a great place with cool knowledgeable photographers. I have a friend who lives in ladbroke grove. Ill be meeting him this week to pass him some film.

good luck on the printing. I will have to wait to buy my enlarger until lockdown is no more.
