One of the highlights of my Mondays is going to my photography class at 2:00. I get to spend anywhere between 30 minutes and 3 hours working in my own personal, chemical smelling haven. I'm telling you, there's nothing better than figuring out your image's perfect exposure time, projecting that favorite image onto a blank sheet of fiber paper and after agitating it through the developer, stop, and fixer, being able to see your perfectly constructed image that you worked so hard at getting just right. They say digital photography is going to out date darkroom photography, but all the darkroom photographers out there know that you can never get the same satisfaction from printing your image off a printer. You just can't.
