Oh I remember it well, used to turn your finger nails brown!
Blimey does that bring back fond memories. I demolished the wall between our coal shed and wash room and built a purpose made darkroom. I lined the walls with insulation and 3/8" plywood and built dedicated wet and dry benches with cupboards below. I plumbed it in through the wall to the kitchen. My wife thought it was better than the kitchen so I had to buy a new purpose designed kitchen to keep her happy.
Thanks for the memory Paul.

With all you "Old Guys" reminiscing on the past and the days of film I thought it would be appropriate to load a mod in B+W for the younger members who think the past is devoid of colour 
I never got the chance to work in developing my own films so missed out on all the red lighting, brown finger nails and demolition that seems to have been part of the process.

Memory lane Paul. Good image to show what it was like. You don't see many actual photos of someone actually using darkroom stuff, especially now. The darkroom was fun when I was courting! "Please knock before entering Mum"
I still have some of my gear in the loft but have lost interest. I Still have a Mamiya 645 with 80mm f2.8 lens which works, shot a roll of film recently.
Eric mod in BW looks sharper, must be the red.
Nothing will beat the magic of that image appearing as you sloshed the tray.
Thanks for the post Paul

Looks very scientific, Paul. I have no idea what you were doing, was it you? You looked more like a scientist rather than a photographer... The red added on more mystery...
Only for one click "Dodge" on Photoshop? Good Lord.
I actually borrowed a simple one once, after the June 4th, 1989 in Beijing when I couldn't get my film developed in the shop. I couldn't remember what I did now, only remember that I was told to buy some bags of power,and some water, the picture emerged under the water.. I only did one evening, got the picture out but never picked it up again, no idea about dodge or burn, I didn't take photo then.. The interest really started from learning from you and other photographers on this site. especially your light management and technical interests got me into it, But I'm not technical.
Thanks again Paul and thank you for your critique on the reflection.
