I bought my first camera – a Canon FT – in 1971 or ’72, and my first darkroom (used) maybe two years later. I remember that first night, with the darkroom equipment and trays lined up on my parents’ basement floor. All night on my knees…
I loved the magic of watching prints gradually appear in the developer, and I still miss it (as I wrote in my Scanograms post).
I still have my darkroom equipment. Someday, or at least some night…
Here are some images from back then.
