Like an ancient craft, black and white silver based photography has so much crea tive karmic energy linked to it (due to it's rich history and the mass of humani ty that has delved into it) that I consider it a priviledge to be able to work w ith it - even in the face of eventual complete digital revolution.
But, I wonder if there are any other B&W photographers out there who may be feel ing likewise elated, but also somewhat guilty (as I) about the chemicals we use and the thought of what they might be doing to our home earth? (To say nothing about all that perfectly good rinse water that passes almost directly from the s pigot to the drain in the wash.)....
It's my hope that this strand might generate a reasonable idea or two about how to more safely dispose of toxic darkroom chemicals we LF developers/printers use in our home darkrooms. Andre
