In the past to make photos I had to spend the day in the darkroom with the door closed and no contact with the outside world. There were many good days spent this way over the past years but there were also many hot days, cold days and lets not forget those smelly days. Today I spend the day in my digital darkroom in the light and without the smell! One of the most interesting things about digital is that you can actually make pictures while going to get a cup of coffee. You just push print and away it goes. For those who did not spend a quarter of there life in the darkroom this may not seem like a big deal for those of us that have it seems like something from Star Trek. I was thinking the other day about the next generation of photographers that will not have darkroom experience to guide them and will be at a loss in some ways but in others they will be way ahead. For the most part I make digital prints the same way I made silver prints. I think that the next generation of photographers will not be bound by the techniques of the past and will be much more creative in their ideas and printing techniques in the future.
Here are a few of the images I made today. Hope you enjoy them!
