I already spend 10-12 h a day in front of a phosphor tube.... Another reason to stick to the darkroom
Happy new year everyone!

Well, I will try going to the darkroom for that spoecific purpose.
BUT what I find preferable to computer work is that a darkroom (especially a club or a rented one in a proffessional store) is far more socialising than staying indoors infront of the pc. (and i keep my internet browsing for the internetcafe!). It is the first time i have melt the seat fabric while Photoshoping, something that has never happened during my SAT and Uni exams.
On the other hand i enjoy the company of my club members in the room, and the Ah! when the dark areas of the print first show up. And there is nothing more ego-boosting than being in the darkroom helping two beautifull women to develop their first B&W film! LOL
Honestly and Seriously now, what seems we have forgotten is that interaction boosts creativity. Just seeing anotherone's work or talking about it breeds new things. And that cannot happen around a computer. Can it?
Happy new year to you all! Kostas
