MR. DARKRGDN\

It was my original intention to outline the mechanics of develop‘ ing a film and making a black and ; white print in this and future columns. Theseare, however, cov- ered very thoroughly and simply’ in my Mr Darkroom wall chart. Photographs and copy take you through the 6 easy steps to the negative and 9 stages to a finished print. These are yours for the asking, and many persons have al- ready done so. Along with these requests came many queries, “Why should I do my own developing and printing? This column will give you many reasons.

Darkroom work is exciting and creative. It allows you to put the finishingtouch (no pun intended) on the creativity started with the exposure made in your camera. The imagination shown in printing puts your personal stamp on the work. Your darkroom technique gradually becomes an extension of your ability with a camera. For example this originality can be shown in the form of picture com- position of other than the custom- ary square or oblong format. Many examples come to mind — a sunset, cropped to full horizon width but only two or three inches high, or a slender tree printed in 3 Vertical format no wider than is necessary to include the actual tree. I'm sure you can think of many more, and looking atthe prints you have from previous shooting you will see many different cropping possibili« I ties. Selective Cropping gives 'im- pact to the subject matter by removing unnecessary detail from the finished print. This cropping is done by raising andlowering the enlarger head to obtain proper size and using the variable arms of the easel to mask the image to exactly What you want to shOw.

The adage '(He walks best, who first learns to creep' was never more true than when applied to dark- room work. The basics that‘de- termine a successful print are not as glamorous as many techniques to produce special print effects, yet without theséi'fundamentals, no print is really successful. There are many things you can do to gather this knowledge. First, make Your source: of supply...;a dealer? knowledgeable; inf darkroom tam

interested in helping you get the most from your purchases. Second, find a camera club that majors in darkroom work and with a mem- bership eager to assist beginners.

Third, make use of the services that we as Durst and Paterson repre-

‘sentatives offer you in the form of

help by phone orletter.

When establishing a darkroom, remember that the price tag is a reflection of what is built into the

equipment you choose, and that a *

good enlarger can be a lifetime purchase. Dependability of align- ment is of paramount importance to producing‘a print that has over- all sharpness. Quality of compo— nents in the illumination system determine how even the lighting will be from side to side on the print. That’s why I am so keen on the Durst reflex system. Light

does not go straight from lamp to negative, but is deflected down- wards by a mirror. Heat escapes not only through lamphouse vents but also from back of mirror. Lamp may be raised and lowered, as well as rotated to ensure precise cen- tering with mirror. illumination is totally even, yet retains the crisp—

‘ness of a condenser enlarger.

ficient at the time, and the school authorities thought they were really neat.

Now as time passed and the school expanded, these buildings remained unchanged, except, of course, for age. First one then another residence were built for female stu— dents. They were given the finest possible for comfort and convieniance, as it is proper and right to pamper those who are of the weaker sex.

Finally one year, one of the two oldest re— sidences, was turned into nice new classrooms as many of the students had been threatened by the hoard of rats who, al-

[though they had not been

paying, found lodging within the walls. The thought of so many free tenants made the school authorities mad and no one was allowed to live there after.

Pity for the students now homeless (and greed, at the thought of a new profit Scheme) forced the vauthoritesgto find it in their heart to build a new residence. Using the cheapest material possible it was soon standing.

For the wonderous apart—

ments found there, students

soon found they had to procure an arm and a leg. Soon grave robbing became a real problem and the school began settling for mere fingers:and toes. Finally it came to pass that only one of the original two residences was still used as such; Those who were unlucky

A fun place to live - Student Activities at Memorial enough to live within its plaster and 'brick walls paid the same as those in the

much nicer residences. Those in charge thought it was great as the money saved from not making improvements sure helped keep their nice salaries nice. Despair was high and frustration fierce. The ten— ants were under the thumb but they soon began tosbite the thumb that feeds it. (It tasted much better). ~The poverty in- flicted upon the unfortunate ones soon led to drunkiness as a rule rather than the exception. Some even went delirious and ran about naked. Soon the students had had enough.

The school term ended one year in the usual festive crisis. The next Sept- ember, the other students noticed how quiet and Serene the campus was. Some— thing was definitely missing. Finally one bright student made a brilliant ob— servation, "Wasn't that residence used last year? There's no one there this year." Yes, as sad as it may be, all the students had gone home to where they lived and they hadn't returned.
