Let's see.... here's how I made my darkroom....
I took the Photoshop cd.... stuck it into the computer orifice.... pressed
the install button... and there it was!!!!
Actually, I thought everyone had their darkroom in a tiny, cramped bathroom,
til I saw Sam Wang's. That really opened my eyes.... so now I am looking at
my son's bedroom.... he could sleep in the bathroom maybe......

<< I just finished making an improvised darkroom in my garage. I hung
black plastic from 2x4s propped on the metal beams in the garage, and
I taped or stapled the plastic to the 2x4s and the metal beams. I put
2x4s on the floor too and stapled the bottom of the plastic to those.
I already had a sink and a vent hood with a fan attached; all I had
to do was make the area around it dark enough at night that I could
process 8x10 negatives. It worked! There was no fogging at all, and
I could work out there before it got completely dark outside, as it
turned out. The only remaining problem is that it is quite hot out
there still, but in a month or so it should be cooler.
I thought it would be interesting to learn how other people made
darkrooms for themselves at home or elsewhere. Of course we
alt-process people don't need as dark a room to make prints in, but
there is still the problem of finding a really dark place to process
those big negatives, unless you make digital negatives from smaller
negatives. >>
