Intro to Black and White Film and the Darkroom

Copyright Allison Hale; All Rights Reserved


I love the darkroom. For me, nothing beats the quiet, orange-lit space with the sound of running water and rocking trays, or the excited anticipation of seeing your print emerge for the first time... The darkroom isn't antiquated here - it's a place of magic and creation, of contemplation and community.

Never tried it? Curious to learn the old-school methods?

Perhaps you might want to consider spending 8 winter evenings here with us, learning your film camera and the darkroom:
