012 - Social Distancing with Photography and the Darkroom
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.

009 - I'm Back (finally)
I finally do another episode after almost 3 months. It has been a long time and I certainly missed it. In this episode we cover getting into my new darkroom and how that has been going. What I have done so far and what I plan to do. A shout out to all my friends on the Facebook Group, it has developed into a nice community of great people doing darkroom work or at least interested in doing it.
I hope we inspire more and more people to take the plunge and experience the magic of darkroom printing.
