hmm, maybe…
you know I like lenses too much-Though I could see you in the bar, after, for the pinup…
Well, you could use your lenses Joseph. What would stop you from exposing a neg, and also making a photogram at the same time?

I’d say a lot of people might feel intimidated by the prospect. A lot of people here seem to use digital a lot more, so whether they have an interest in it or not, they may feel itimidated by the fact that they know absolutely nothing about this kinda thing.
I for one, am one of those people! :lol:
I guess a lot of people are going to think that if they say they’re interested, they’ll be the odd one out, especially with you guys hogging the LoFi section these days
Well, maybe the best way to get dis-intimidated would be just to give it a go…
Physically, photograms are not difficult to make, but, the artistic side of it, well, that’s a completely different kettle of buttons.
It’s a fun thing to do, and, if you’ve never been in a darkroom before, that in it’s self is an experience…The Lofi thing was open to everyone, and all were welcome, it was an extremely chilled out day,
I think this will be the same.Zoltan, I can help with paper too. And, I’m far from a master printer, but, I do know how to make a print.
I’m looking forward to the title workshop! tee hee…

When would be a better time than the end of May for the students? When is the exam period over?
So…
I have been onto two darkrooms, but I don’t have anything definite.
I would need you to decide on the date: 30th May, 6th or 13th June are the days I propose.
Cost would be around €20 each. Sinead knows a dealer who smuggles paper directly from Colombia, together with the necessary chemicals.
A not so serious list so far:
Sinead
Gizzo
JB7 (probably)
nfl-fan (google is slow, so he has to search wikipedia)
Rob (probably)
plainoldme (needs more excuses not to take part)If there’s only 3 people in the end – inculding me – then it can be held in my darkroom at home. I hope, this will not be the case.
So come on people, help me choose a date and put your name down… you can learn something for free here!
Zoltan,
I would definitely be on for it . . .
If it was a bit closer to home, trying to keep costs down for a while . . .
~~~ R ~~~~
good idea though, but I wouldnt really have anything to
offer experience wise, I would be feeding off tou guys.I need to check my work diary, but hopefully I’ll still be able to make it.
Yes, Zoltan, I have friends, in Colombia… :mrgreen:
should I need to remind you folks that I control the photo-paper racket?
what’s this Colombia thing? someone needs a new pair of shoes?edit: 13th is fine for me.

New shoes? From Colombia? Ok, we need to talk…
someone sells shoes.
someone else makes shoes.but we can talk business, of course. :D
Alan, I could go to Galway, but I’m not sure about The Others…. what does anyone else think? A Galway outing with some darkroom fun?
I can do wherever/whenever… just as long as nobody suggest we go to Hungary as one Barothi is about as much as I can take.
It’s not looking good for me, from the 13th on- especially not the 13th-
(I mean, who makes photograms on the 13th?)
and even before that will be touch and go-
When you come up with a date, let me know, and I’ll see how the calendar looks…I’d be tentatively interested too Zoltan..dates allowing of course, and as long as the Columbian paper is of a high grade quality and can be smoked without mixing with tobacco?
I was just musing actually on how many PIers can you get into a Darkroom… kinda like one of those lightbulb jokes!!

I’d like very much to partecipate, if the meeting is open to the new-ones (the ones who knows nothing about developing/printing) :)
Unfortunately (well, I’ll be on holiday, so not so UNfortunately!) I’ll be in Italy from the 23 of May till the 14th of June, so if this event will be in these days, I have to pass, this time, but count me in for the next one!
cheers
