A couple tips from Mr. Story

Here are my insights from the few weeks we have had in the darkroom...


  • You MUST clean up after yourself!!!  Be sure you do not forget your supplies, test strips, negatives etc.
  • DO NOT co-mingle the chemicals!!!  Very nice prints and negatives are getting ruined due to chemical mixing!
  • ALWAYS PUT THE PAPER POUCH BACK INTO THE BOX!!!  Paper is VERY expensive and can be exposed even by safe lights over time.  PLEASE be sure you take a sheet of paper, close the envelope, and put the sleeve back into the box.  I can not stress this enough.
  • Everything we are working with is FRAGILE.  Take care not to force anything.  If you do not think something is working ask me or someone else for help.
