A Light In The Dark John Gregory

On this episode I am rejoined by Wayne Setser and Sam Warner for a round table discussion on setting up a darkroom.

We will go over the equipment needed and how to choose and setup a space; temporary or permanent.

On this episode I am rejoined by Wayne Setser along with Mike Kukavica and Kevin Lane of the Uncle Jonesy’s Cameras podcast for another round table discussion of various darkroom topics such as:


Why Print in the Darkroom?
Community Darkrooms
Record keeping and organization
Drying and flattening prints

On this episode Wayne Setser and Andrew Bartram join me for a round table discussion of various darkroom topics such as:


Right to Left or Left to Right, which way to do you process
Split Grade printing

Caffenol

This podcast was a lot of fun to record.  Wayne and Andrew have a wealth of knowledge to offer and it was an honor to participate in this event.

Once again, sorry for the long time between episodes.  Today we talk about Social Distancing and Photography.  These are crazy times we live in right now and we all need to do the best we can to keep ourselves, our loved ones and each other healthy.  Just a few thoughts on ways to do this with Photography.  

Also, we have a call in review of the Versalab Parallel Laser Alignment tool from Mike Kukavica.  This is an excellent review of a product that I could put to good use in my darkroom.  Great job Mike!  Mike can be found at drunk_darkroom on Instagram and at kukavica.com.

Keep on fixin'

Over the last year or so I have delved into large format photography.  This has taken my film processing to a new level.  In this episode I explore the ins and outs of Dip and Dunk film processing.  It is a great way to process sheet film as well as roll film.

As promised earlier this week, a new episode has been published.  I talk about upgrades to the darkroom.  The first Negative Positives Film Photo Podcast Louisville Photowalk.  A shout out for content and reviews.  And a big thank you to our Facebook group participants.  

I am really hoping to do more of these in the coming weeks.  There are many things I want to talk about and I will try to do it more Ted Viera style, short and sweet. (Yeah Man).

Spread the word, A Light In The Dark is back!
