Re: Doing you own film processing Again who isn't reading..... I do not have the space.... I do not have space with plumbing, I do not wish to pay to turn my house into a refrigerator, and chill water to below 75 degrees would also be a necessicity. I doubt KW tap water has ever been below about 73 deg even in winter.
And now that I think about it probably why ALL the 1 hour photo places do such a crappy job the watter is too warm..... doubt they chill it.
Spent MANY hours in a dark room as a kid doing Ektachrome and Agfachrome in the interior windowless bathroom....and NE cool house and well water (that also cost nothing but electric to pump.
And in college, degree in media communications, and a large part of that was photography, .
as well as TV, Radio, newespaper (also involving photo)
OK you were and an AC hound in NO, and kept your house at 68 deg, and had water of that temp too..... so be it, I don't nor care to pay to do it....let alone live in a house that cold. (Vs agin kived up north you didn't want to pay to keep it much warmer.)
.... vs most Miamians blot frover AC'd house to over AC'd car to over AC's mall or restaurant.... and never go outside in summer.
In KW my house in nver below 80 in the summer.... cool ebough to dry the air but no real shock when you go out the door.... and don't mind being outside.
And as I also said as the firt reply in this thread I'd love to have that big ol' Bessie if I had the place for it.
But reason even the childhood home did slides because not the space in that little bathroom for an enlarger, but college was fun full darkroom with several enlargers and lens/carrier sets.... 35mm to 4x5 including for that matter a big ol Bessie.
