Analog Photography methods and philosophy

That was fascinating Ian.....thanks for posting.

That's another aspect of photography to add to a growing list that i'd like to try ;)

Very interesting but a bit hard to watch. The background music (why?) is less intrusive after the first few minutes, so it's worth persisting. They make it look almost easy.
Enviable darkroom.
 
I agree about the music being unnecessary. I think that's Steve Sherman's (guy in the orange shirt) darkroom.

Yes, that's Steve. He has some strong ideas about exposure, development and printing. From an orthodox standpoint he grossly overexposes, grossly under-develops and prints with excessive contrast. I think you can see that in combination, these successively balance each other out and he seems to have great control over the final result. He even speaks of "designing" a negative. Worth a look and a think, even if you don't adopt his methods. He makes wet silver prints, not platinum.
