Bay Area,Ca LF Darkroom Owners

[william_linne]

I am crossposting this to a number of similar forums.

I am a LF (primarily) photographer and I do 90% b&w work. I am

presently without a darkroom and have little to no chance of having

the space or money to start one up anytime soon. What I do have is a

8x10 Durst enlarger (one of the monster ones) and Schneider lens.

 

My proposal is this....

 

I am looking for someone who has a nice darkroom setup already, with

the ability to print 4x5 on down.

 

In exchange for letting me use your darkroom for a few hours each

week, I will park my 8x10 stuff there (as well as my assorted other

lenses and darkroom supplies). I am also a master b&w printer and

platinum printer and could offer help there (if indeed any is

needed). Also, I can help out with any physical labor. I am quiet,

clean and courteous.

 

Hopefully, this offer will be of use to someone and we can come to a

mutual agreement that is beneficial to both parties.

 

Please email if interested

I use another facility in Hayward called Faultline:

They are great, and perhaps might be interested in hosting your equipment.
