You may be right about the darkroom feeling. When I was about 10 years old my brother went off to university and left me his darkroom to use for about a year until we moved. But when I recently began developing film the smell of fixer brought back warm, fuzzy feelings. Perhaps its the darkwomb that I missed and would miss the most were Satan to get his hooks into me and drag me screaming to the Epson store. Greg
