MY OWN DARKROOM

Not having a job severely debilitates the quest of obtaining photographic equipment. I could spend my savings on odds and ends off of craigslist and try to piece together a darkroom. Which I planned on doing. But I decided to put my money towards a bike because I've been drooling over them for about three years and have had lots of encouragement from my girlfriend.

Serendipitously, my dad's friend has offered to give me his full darkroom that has been in storage. He says there's a Beseler enlarger, but is unsure of which one it is. I think it's a 67 because he said you can project on to the wall. I researched Beseler enlargers and that's the only one I could find information on that said it could project on the wall.

Now for the darkroom space! Luckily my brother's getting married in twenty-one days! Supposedly that's gonna be my darkroom...I hope...(his room's such a disaster). I'd rather have it set up in the garage, but that would take more time to get ready.

I can't believe this! I'm so spoiled. I'm so ready to grow into the artist I've imagined myself to be.
