I spent four hours in the darkroom at school today. Nothing but the smell of chemicals and new photo paper. YUM.

Then it kind of occurred to me how dangerous my hobby is. i mean really, spending about 1-3 hours at the least messing around with chemicals that could possibly give me cancer EVERY DAY. wow. talk about sacrifice in the name of art. But I like what I do, and that's all that matters i guess. But according to my dear friend Sarah, if i drink milk, I'll be fine. How this helps, i do not know, but i trust her judgment when it comes to dangerous chemicals.

So does anyone else here specialize in darkroom photography? I'd like to hear from you guys. Like tips, input on my gallery, etc. It would be much appreciated! I'm still a little shabby.

Happy Holidays DA!

I don't know what you smoke or what countries you've been to if you speak any other languages other than your own but I'd like to meet you. I don't know if you drive, if you love the ground beneath you. I don't know if you write letters or panic on the phone, still I'd like to call you all the same, if you want to, I am game.

I don't know if you can swim or if the sea has any draw for you. if you're better in the morning or when the sun goes down, I'd like to talk to you. I don't know if you can dance, if the thought ever occurred to you. if you eat what you've been given or push it round your plate. still I'd like to cook for you all the same, I would want to, I am game,

If you walk my way and I could keep my head we could creep away in the dark or maybe not, we could shoot it down anyway....
