Sleeping on it

Odd title I know, but actually it seems I spoke to soon when I posted my last blog. Things are not fine, in fact they’ve gotten much worse, so much so that work is again affecting my life in unmanageable proportions. Perhaps I should have saved the last blog post and slept on it. See what I did there? Well yeah ok lame excuse but bleh.

There is good news though, I’ve been given a little gift thanks to the miracle that is twitter. Someone contacted me on there, made and offer, and now I’m the proud owner of a full darkroom solution. Now, this is a big thing for me, I’ve wanted to go and deal with darkroom stuff for a very long time, but I have never had the money to do it. Granted the initial outlay isn’t that expensive, but it’s knowing what to buy. Now I’ve been given all the stuff, and the right stuff, so that takes some of the thinking out of the equation. It gets better though as it also supports colour!.

Now granted I need to learn exactly how to use all of this, and although there are a few instruction manuals, there are not many, (I’ll post up an equipment list when I can) but I could do with a start to finish idiots guide to a darkroom processing (I’ve even got an enlarger but No idea how to use it!) Although I’m sure I’ll learn. This is an experience, a learning experience, and one that I’m a little scared off but really looking forward to doing. It should certainly provide me with an interesting learning experience!

Anyone care to offer any advice?
