I was running the photo efforts for my high school yearbook. As a senior, teaching the ins and outs of darkroom technique was really good experience with a particular sophomore girl.It's a caver thing. Most can't relate. It's also a dark room thing. I was an avid B&W photographer throughout high school, and even had my own darkroom, as well as access to two professional darkrooms. We had ample red light when we were futzing with paper, but all handling of film was done in pitch darkness. Any stray light there, and your film was fogged. How I remember those smells. Now we have digital, so few will ever learn the process any more. That's probably a good thing.
Would hate to have missed out.
