How about a virtual tour for those who live in Chicago?

Could be difficult since quite a bit of it is done in the dark. I suppose you could sit looking at a black computer screen while Simon tells you about it.

That's no match for the real thing. You'd have to walk around in a huge, huge, huge (did I mention "huge"?) darkroom with only the occassional safelight to get close to the real experience. And then there the "multimedia experience": the great smell of the paper... like opening a 100-pack of 8x10, only then at least a 100.000 pack; the vastness of the darkness, tripping over people from previous year's visit...

Honestly, there's nothing like the real visit!

(Did I mention the storage room of the emulsion? Hmmm, you gotta love that smell!)

Don't forget jiggling the expensive jelly!

I'd like to make the trip from Ireland if there's space.

Ooooh, if there is any room left I will travel from NL specially to visit ! The group-size of thirty could probably be filled several times over.....

In case it is applicable, thank you to the generous guys who might pass up a second/third visit to let us first-timers in.

[quote=Paul.;570047]Hi Simon,

Hello Simon

We met last year in Louis Lumiere photography school with Ilford French staff. I will be happy to visit the Moberley site. June isn't the best month in term of free time for teachers but I am fully motivated by the idea.

Best regards from East Paris

I'd love to join, but unfortunately won't be in the UK beginning of June.

Will you do a visit next year?
