Thanks everyone for your replies.

I think I'm just going to go ahead and try it in the bathroom. I have an A/C vent on the floor I will turn on and kick on the exhaust fan and get some rubber gloves. I'm planning on only use Kodak Dektol for developing and Kodak fixer. I'm going to try water for the stop bath and water for the final rinse. I'm not looking to get super-duper professional prints from this. I figure if I even make it through a pack of 25 sheets of paper before I get bored, it will be a huge success.

Thanks guys. I really wasn't too concerned since I hadn't really seen anything in the reading I had done. But, I'm glad the experts are out there. She was just so over the top with it, it was almost funny.

I have a DSLR, so they wouldn't be getting me on that. It's funny.. I have a DSLR, yet I have an interest in pinhole photography... weird.

I am building a simple pinhole camera out of an oatmeal box and plan to use photo paper. I may or may not get

bored with it right away - It's something to play around with.

Anyway, I went to the local photostore to get some paper and chemicals and ask a few questions on what kind of

paper, how long the chemicals last, etc. The girl pretty much chased me out of the store explaining I need a

real dark room and $500 of equipment and ventilation and all these photographers have died from lung cancer

because of developing film or somesuch.

All the references I read online say nothing about dieing of cancer. So I left empty handed.

Am I going to die developing photo paper in my laundry room?
