If you’re on social media, you will have no doubt noticed an uptick in darkroom-related activities in our community. From home processing black and white and colour film to RA-4 darkroom printing, it seems that more and more people are getting into the darkroom in one way or another, and that’s fantastic news.
Here are just a few of the articles you and the rest of the community enjoyed reading this year. For the rest, head on over to read everything else filed under darkroom here on EMULSIVE.
