Going away for the week.

Hi Peter,

You mentioned about old darkroom equipment. It reminded me of the time when I was really young. (Oh yes I was!!) I used to take wedding pictures of colleagues,or passport pictures for them, whilst serving in the forces overseas. My pictures were basically rubbish unless I happened by sheer chance to get a decent picture.

Because I was cheap (and still am!) My mates used to order no end of these pics. The result was, I used to spend hours, days and nights when I was not working; in the photographic club darkroom. I very often disappeared for days on end with a supply of chocolate biscuits and a carton of juice, to produce the pictures they ordered. Result was, I took on a pasty appearance, my eyesight started to fail from examining all the negatives, and I smelled permenently of developer and fixer.  what I am trying to say in a roundabout way Peter is....No thanks, I don't want to buy your darkroom equipment.     Ray S.  

No Ron, that is not the reason. I was born like it.

Ray, it was the same for me, doing weddings birthdays and parties. I spent weeks in the darkroom. I still have it in the loft. Due to health problems, I couldnt do it now though. As nobody seems to want darkroom gear, I will just dump it. But it was fur though, wasnt it?
