RE: world's oldest photo lab article
Rumor is that the photos are actually of Judy Seigel's darkroom .... Actually, Don, et al, my darkroom was *built* in 1832, making it by my math older than "the world's oldest," tho it didn't become a darkroom until my reign of terror, a few years after that. The late Peter Moore took some marvelous photos of that darkroom (which I'll find in the mess around here some day) for a Modern Photography article. But they called it "the Dungeon Darkroom," which struck me as somewhat insensitive. (I thought of it more as a grotto.) Now of course I work mostly upstairs in the studio ("lightroom"), but I still love that space... cool in summer, cozy in winter. (And yes, I had/have a lot of chemicals. Doesn't everybody?) J.
