Public Darkrooms in NYC

[zelig]

Hi,

 

Similar versions of this question have been posted before, but forgive me as I

give it another go.

 

Can anyone recommend a good, cheap, public/rental darkroom in the NYC area?

Thus far, I've heard of PrintSpace (roughly 18/hour...too expensive), the Jewish

Community Center (must be a member), and Latent Image, which seems to have

disappeared. I feel certain that there must be more options out there --

especially in New York. I'm a graduate student at the CUNY Grad Center in

Manhattan and am looking into darkrooms provided through school.

 

When I lived in Rochester, I had access to their Community Darkroom, which was

largely subsidized and stocked by their neighbor, Kodak. Members could print

for $6/HOUR -- CHEMICALS INCLUDED!!! In short, I'm spoiled.

 

Anyhow, suggestions and recommendations would be GREATLY appreciated.

If you are a heavy user the Camera Club deal may be the best - you get 624 hours per year for $1400. There seem to be shorter-term deals as well. I'm not a member, so have no direct experience, but some of my friends are.

 

Best, Helen

The ICP's school used to "hire" people to work as darkroom assistants; mixing chemicals,

signing out equipment, et cetera. The ICP pays you in kind, so each hour you work you get an

hour in the darkroom. It is not a bad deal if you have time to spare.

 

I can't remember the name of the guy who runs the darkroom, but take a walk to the ICP's

school (43rd and 6th Avenue, on the SE corner), convince the guards to let you in, and speak

to whoever is in charge of the darkroom at the time.

Go into a bar , and order a beer. Oh, public darkrooms, that's different.
