@jbaty I can’t imagine ever growing tired of seeing an image appear in the developer tray. San Francisco’s darkroom, now The Harvey Milk Photo Center, has been in operation since 1940. Between my high school’s darkroom and the B&W photo lab where I worked through high school, I didn’t use it very often back in the day (mid 1970s) but it remains an amazing resource. Coincidentally, the lab I worked in did the B&W work for Harvey’s shop, Castro Camera.

Got back in the darkroom at Harvey Milk Photo Center after a half century hiatus. (Well, maybe only 49 years and it was just called 50 Scott Street then…) Prints of Harvey and Scott Smith at Castro Camera seemed like a fitting way to resume. The occasion was a pie for Scott’s 27th birthday. Bette from Mendel’s Far Out Fabrics on Haight Street was there too. I was trying to recall why Bette was there when I realized I can’t recall why I was.
