New Hobby
A month ago, my roommate Zach discovered a darkroom in the basement of Mather tower. After seeing some of the prints that he developed, I had to give black and white film photography a try. Seven rolls of film and twenty hours in the darkroom later, I have my first few prints. Check out the scans below.

These are beautiful! …and impressive for only twenty hours in the darkroom. (Which, I should mention, is an impressive devotion of time for the typical Harvard student who claims to always be busy.) What kind of camera are you using/where did you obtain it? Turns out Pfoho has a darkroom as well…
Thanks! If you ever hear me claim to be busy, it’s probably to cover for the next few hours when I’ll be playing computer and acquiring new, unmarketable hobbies in my room. The camera’s a Ricoh KR-10x, courtesy of my dad and his short-lived bout of artistic inspiration (self-delusion?) in the late 80′s. I think VES has recently been trying to unload old SLRs at low prices, or you can always get them at a steal at a used camera store or online. You should definitely hit up the Pfoho darkroom while you can, before the entire world (and their mom) goes digital…
