Darkrooms and color film




I went to talk to the school's photography professer because my enlarger couldn't manage 6x7 at all, and since 6x4.5 did decent I was surprised ( I shouldn't have been).  He ended up offering to loan me a lens more suitable, or letting me pay the normal lab fee and using the darkroom at the school for the whole summer, chemicals included.  I chose the latter.  After my first weekend in the darkroom, I realized the developer was toast (leftovers from the semester).  Not expecting much, I went to the professer again and was handed a cube of polymax and a bottle of fixer, further reinforcing why I love my school: the people just are good people.  I also finally got the color film I shot memorial day weekend developed and am happy with a couple of them.
