moore_photography Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 well, James, if you're just giving it away I'm willing to take it off your hands. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_keller Posted July 22, 2003 Author Share Posted July 22, 2003 I look at digital vs. traditional film as two entirely different processes. I don't look at them as competing processes - at least as an art form. If I were a photojournalist or needed prints done instantly and cost effectively the whole issue might be different. So as a hobbyist I would like full control over my picture process and this is the reason why I am considering the darkroom. Any thoughs from experienced dark roomers on a newbie getting involved in this? Any recommendations - thanks for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
