The darkroom is offically over....

I have taught at Lawrence North High School for 11 years. When I started I was able to buy the darkroom equipment and set it up the way I wanted to. I was very excited to be in charge and build a program. I had to learn how to fix the enlargers, how to hang the lights- it was a nightmare but I did it. I did it for 11 yrs and now we are saying GOODBYE!! I am SAD but very excited for the future!! My high school kids are very sad. They wish we could keep the darkroom but BW chemicals and film are too much money and students / parnets do not buy film cameras anymore.

Here is an image of my last day in the darkroom- it is a huge deal for me. I have always been able to print and now I will offically be only digital photography. This is my darkroom- it is a MESS- kids trash it!!!
