Back in the Black
Working away from home for the past few months has severely curtailed the darkroom work (and shooting) however a wet Saturday afternoon over the weekend saw me entering the sacred room at the back of the garage to work the magic with light and chemicals. I had begun to think that I might have to join the digital fraternity on a permanent basis but the results of a few hours in the black have reinvigorated me again. Off to Cambridge tonight to capture some images on HP5 at the Midsummer Fair if the showers hold off. Hope to rejoin the print exchanges soon, I really miss that A4 envelope arriving each month.

Martin, it is great that you found your way back to the darkroom. I wish you many, many great prints and wonderful hours in the darkroom.
I know how good it feels to come back to analogue... Only a few years ago, I also had a "digital only phase", which was during the time I was pregnant with my son. I did not want to work with chemicals for obvious reasons. The pixelphotos I took at that time are somewhere on the hard disk of my computer and most of them never got printed with that ominous ink-thing; I think I even forgot most of them. Today I wonder why I did not just use let's say XP2 and get the film developed by a lab as an interims solution, maybe with tiny prints made by them, and make my own DR prints one or two years later...
