The maids hate me
< on 10/23/2007 12:21 PM >

So, I started work at a new funeral home 300 miles away from my residence, so I'm holed up in a hotel until I can buy a house. Not being one to sit on my butt every night and watch re-runs of CSI or Six Feet Under I decided to break open the darkroom equipment and have some evening fun. The enlarger is my spare one, I decided to pack it with me as it takes up less room than my beseler.

The maids think I'm a nutcase.

I so wish I had a proper darkroom. I can't completely block the light and so much of my light blocking techniques depend on my cats not ripping down curtains (which is a hobby of theirs). If only I had a large enough bathroom. Instead I have my unused enlarger sitting in my bedroom, taunting me.

You have made me jealous and sad.

i use my basement of my apartment. i bought contractor grade plastic, its thick and black. i got it in a big rolls from home depot i think. and i literally just duct taped it over the windows. so if you dont mind no natural light in your bathroom, maybe thats an option, hahaha. then i made myself a little "curtain" over the doorway made of the same material- its secured down at the top and on one side. leave the light off in the outside room and in the darkroom room im working in, and it does a good enough job.

yeah. that is a tiny enlarger. i think my enlarger can beat your enlarger up

I never realized it until now, but I think motel bathrooms were designed with portable darkrooms in mind.

When do we see prints, or scans thereof?

yep.

My bathroom is waaaay too small. When you are on the toilet your knees hit the wall. In order to get in the tub you have to hop over the toilet. Also, and not shockingly, there is no counter space, no window and no fan in this bathroom, so it can't be used.

Also, I have an "open concept" (I feel dirty saying that) apartment with numerous, very large windows. It takes a ton of work just to get the place dark and it is impossible to block all light so I can only use it at night. I am just to lazy to set it up and take it down all the time. Also, there is the problem with the cats that try to destroy everything I am near.


I am now thinking I might be better off to just rent a cheap hotel room on occassion.

Ahhh, a good old Meopta Opemus 4 enlarger, It's a great (and cheap) enlarger. It's my main enlarger and I got a colorhead for it, that's really a nice piece to use.

I think it could only be improved by leaving some autopsy tools lying around as well.

the maids will probably think you're making bombs or something with all those pans and chemicals.

I do the same thing. I've converted the basement bathroom into my darkroom. At least we don't have to worry about a place to sit while we wait for a print to develope! LOL

I feel like such a loser...I can't even get a darkroom set up at home.

Though, admittedly, I do have FAR less counter space than that here.

You must be sitting on the toilet a lot. That's how you get hemorrhoids ya know. Be careful in there.

God, I don't miss the whole wet darkroom thing at all.

Watch out with the darkroom gear, two years back I was in a hotel in dayton and had a bunch of flashbulbs, wire, capacitors,and other electronics spread out as I was making a large slave flash out of one-time use cameras since I forgot my other slaves. Went to get lunch and came back to the police about looking at every thing, one of the maids thought I must of been with the ohio branch of the IRA and called in the JBT. Took for ever to clear that one up.

ABSOLUTELY the first thought that came into my head!! Well done though... might keep them from rifling through your goods for fear that you are truly the new & improved serial killer of yore...

I brought my birds with me too, so not only do I have a darkroom in the bathroom I have two birds flying around in here.
