Default Hello from Kent!

Hello. I came across this forum by chance whilst looking for info on my new De Vere closed loop enlarger (request for help to follow!) and after a quick look around the forums, figured it was my kinda place so I registered!

I am a photographer working commercially, just getting up and running really, but things are going well. I rent a studio at a local arts centre that just about gives me the space to work, although i'm becoming very keen to source my own premises. I also run a darkroom with a friend, originally intended to just serve the pair of us, but now also rented out to a few others. Longer term, we're looking at operating it as a community darkroom commercially, there certainly seems to be the market and there doesn't seem to be a public darkroom anywhere else in the south east outside of London!

So that's me! Hello!

Welcome Steve. I imagine that a community darkroom facility will get plenty of use. What part of Kent do you come from?
