No water at all in my darkroom, and it hasn't stopped me. Jugs, trays and old newspaper for spills - it's amazing how resourceful you can be when you put your mind to it. Paterson tank stuff is done in the kitchen; sheet film in 5x7 trays inside 10x8 trays in the darkroom.
Prints are easy, and all prints are put into a holding tank of water till it's time to lug the print washer into the bathroom. Obviously there's an electrical supply in there though Phil |

What about boarding up the waiting room at your station; tell the customers it's undergoing renovation.

Some years ago I actually did some contact prints in the old station master's office which was disused at the time. Fine until my boss found out. I had the hell of a job persuading her I wasn't making drugs or explosives or something in there! That option is now closed as it's been turned into a rather excellent mini-pub (The Railway Arms) which I have to say is nearly as good as a darkroom. It also has real mono prints on the wall by your's truly! Highly recommended (but check the rather obscure opening hours before you travel)! I'm just going to shoot a few more films so once I do get back into the darkroom I probably wont come out until Christmas! Rob |

My darkroom is out of action due to a ceiling collapse. I was due to move it to the new house as time permitted, but that plan is out of the window. So I will be without a darkroom for a considerable time. Till the outside shed can be converted (at the moment full of my brother-in-laws junk) and the whole kit moved from the old house. I am thinking of scaling it down from two 4x5 enlargers to one, getting rid of the either the De Vere or the Laborator.
I have been thinking of shooting E6 till I have the chance to do the work, as it won't be too difficult to set up the CPE for processing. Neil |

I cannot imagine what these things are intended for but they could make a good temporary darkroom.

I did look at those as an option a couple of years ago Dave you can get an array of sizes unlike the darkroom tents you could get. I believe they're indoor greenhouses for gardeners who maybe can't get about as much

I just take photos. Processing, editing and printing can wait
Its sometimes easy to forget the pleasure found in engaging the subject and enjoying the experience in such a way that the photos are almost a natural byproduct of the interaction. Perhaps develop a few project ideas and get started? That way, when the darkroom is operational again, you'll be like a kid in a sweetie shop eager to see the negs come out of the wash! |
