Invitation to Chicago & my Darkroom
Chicago is starting the tourist season. Yes, lot's of people come here from around the world. May to October is the best weather.
Yesterday I had a short and pleasant visit from an active forum member, since we already corresponded it was great to see an old friend. (you know what I mean)
My safe inner city location is Chicago's version of Bohemia
I prefer active posting members as we all seem to know each other that way. Zero posters and new members will need vetting.
I can be a guide to Chicago, I have lived here since 1967. I comprehend Castilian.
I can provide full darkroom if needed, for short projects of almost anything film based. Soon B+W movie film processing, in small batches.
I am listed here on Ilford's site Private darkroom 'TIN CAN COLLEGE'.
Let Summer begin!

Randy is a terrific host, and he has an amazing place. He has top-of-the-line commercial stainless sinks, more photo enlargers than I've ever seen in one place, and some amazing cameras and lenses. Most importantly, he's fun to talk with.

Does Moe's B&B have off-street parking?

Pretty sure it does if you're on a motorcycle. ;)

Parking for one car, yes. But this is not a B&B.
Nor am I selling something.
Let me be clear, I do not charge people or rent this space.
This is for friends, however new, to share a darkroom or photography tour of Chicago.
Definitely not a commercial effort or small business.
I prefer to share and exchange ideas, skills and experience.

The comment about "B&B" was merely an attempt at levity. Sorry if it came across differently.

Will, no problem, I guess I'm touchy, I get a lot of snarky comments and PM's.
They are wearing me down, some here people don't like frequent posters.
But, I should have made it more clear initially that I was not selling anything.
Thanks for your levity, really!

Don't let them get you down Randy.
Re: Invitation to Chicago & my Darkroom
I'm checking Amtrak and Chicago's bus map now.
If we visit, what should we bring for you, Randy?
Flashbulbs is my thing. :)
