My Experience in the Darkroom
I love the moment of first stepping into the darkroom. I love going from the light into the pitch black darkness. Photography is a nice break within my school day, and it is always exciting to be able to go into a different style of classroom in order to learn in new ways. I love the satisfying feeling of making a print that I'm happy with. In the darkroom, I use so many test strips to find the perfect lighting and focus, and it feels great when I see that my hard work has paid off. The darkroom feels very mysterious to me. The revolving door enters me into the world of developer and fixer. I have grown to love my enlarger more than the others because I have grown accustomed to the way the timer works and where it is located. I am so lucky to have the materials of the darkroom all supplied to me, and I'd love to keep taking advantage of this new world I am welcome in.
