Darkroom portraits

Sleeping in there with all that ether might be an issue though ! :-) Could be the last nap you take.

Good Morning, Bill,

Sure beats a mule carrying a tent.

I know, looks like it will be a tent for me... or maybe the ether!

Having gone head over heals for the wet plate process, I decided to go with a mobile darkroom over the portable darkbox used by many. I like a lot of working space!

Very nice, Bill. Will there be a "wet plate shootout" between your trailer and Joe's Magic Bus this year?

Thanks Mike! We're going to give it a go. He has a more cool bumper sticker than I already. "If the Van's a Rockin'..."

Hey all. Wonderful pictures! So many amazing darkrooms out there. If anybody doesn't mind, I've got a question for those of you who may have done this. Is there any easy, or cheap way possible to convert half a room, or half a garage, into a darkroom without building anything that's permanent?

Welcome to APUG, Palundrium. I see this is your first post. All you really need to do is to make the space light proof. There are plenty of different materials you can use - the black plastic sheeting used in gardens, black cloth "gaffer" tape, cardboard, wood. It all just depends on where the light may get in. If you can give some specific details on your needs and the space available, I'm sure we can help.

Darkroom extreme makeover, before and after pics. Stepping up to 5x4 was never going to be easy!

I sure like those stainless shelves. What are they?

Ikea dish drains, aren't they?
