My daughter and son-in-law just remodeled the basement of their house. He is a professional photographer who does mostly weddings. They fixed up the basement for his photo studio. I couldn't believe it, -there was NO darkroom. Instead there was a desk with about five computer monitors. Why does a photographer need so many monitors? My bet is he's never been in a photo darkroom, let alone how do develop film, and use an enlarger, and he calls himself a 'professional' photographer??? Unbelievable!

Someone on this website has been inturpreting my post as a put-down on my son-in-law's professional skills. This is not the case at all. It was intended to be just a humerous comment on the new breed digital photographer's and their high tech Adobe's, which admittedly I don't know anything about, vs. I bet they don't know anything about what goes on inside an old fashioned photo lab, and will never have the experience and fun of a highschool class darkroom.
Just traded away my Nikon 2.8 enlarging lens, the lens I used during my years as a boxing photographer. Haven't used it in 25 years.The newer professional digital cameras, coupled with Photoshop, really do make all of your darkroom skills obsolete.
But do keep in mind that the new breed will never experience the emotional rush one gets from seeing the first images of a GREAT new print emerging from the bottom of a tray.

It was the seductive aroma that will be missed forever. The darkroom has gone the way of the steam locomotive.
and fixer too. As a former photojournalist i've mixed up darkroom chemicals in the strangest of places!However i've embraced the computer darkroom- Adobe PS.
I can do far more on my desktop than in a darkroom. Like burn & dodge in real time, than burn in a little then reprint again. In order to see what changed.
I do believe though, that all advanced aspiring photogs - crawl before they walk. By starting out in a chemical darkroom for the thrill and experince.
"I used during my years as a boxing photographer."I can see where digital would be an asset. It must have been a bitch to change film with those gloves on.

And your point is?...Like it or not, pros are going digital, for many good reasons. You will too, eventually. While I shot film for 40 years, I dont shoot much of it anymore, digital having replaced my film cameras for evrything except large format. The times are changing.
post processing. One to view the image and the second to save real estate on the first, holds the PS tools.Then there's CRT's for critical color adjustments, LCD for bulk of the work.
