Thanks to an invitation by an amazing photographer - Noam Friedman - I spent my first time in an actual darkroom. Kind of a dream come true, to work in that mysterious space with only a red light to assist you.
After developing film myself for the first time, this experience was a great way to continue the process (I actually printing an image from that self-developed roll). Working with the enlarger, touching the different types of paper, smelling the chemicals, seeing the picture come alive. Can’t wait to do it again.
There’s something truly therapeutic, meditative about this process.
