Did some 30+ years ago, using my dad's Yashica wind-up double-8 camera with the bodacious two-lens turret. Lots of goofy fun - perfect for f64 vs Pictorialism. But the camera has vanished, and I'm not sure I could get film for it now anyway. Maybe David Goldfarb can do it in Super 8...

I am on the computer quite enough for my day job without wanting to spend any more time at it. My rotator cuff aches just thinking about it. And then of course, you have to spend a pile of dough on hardware and software which will all have to be replaced in the not too distant future. Even though I scan some colour, I am not into perpetual upgrades.
Give me the darkroom anyday. For those of you who have embraced the digital darkroom unequivocally, don't waste your time critiquing me. Just send me a message listing the darkroom stuff you want to unload at firesale prices. I am in the market for a CPP and a good colour processor.
