... it depends..
I use a stool at the big sink for developing films... I tried the stool for the enlarger didn't like it... It's important that you adjust the height of your enlarger.. too high you won't have a good view... too low you will strain your neck...
Kneeling in front of your enlarger is also good..if you pray at the same time while struggling with a "hard to print" negative...
I only have this dilemna walking into the bathroom.

Good poem. Reminds me of the Doctor version.
"Big Dr. - big incision Little Dr. - little incision Good Dr. - right incision Bad Dr. - indecision."
Forget the enlarger posture, it is the grain magnifier that is giving me neckaches. If only they could digitize that.
Thanks Bill, for that tall stool idea. I could use that tip.
Seriously, anyone else with some thoughts? In the book, "Art & Fear" the authors wrote that hemmingway had his typewriter at elbow level while typing on standing position. His ideas flow better this way. Similiar, some other artists found that a change in routine adversely affects their creative flows. I have found it true in my own experiences other than photography. Thanks.
It depends on what you are wearing, If I am wearing a white shirt and black pants, I stand, if I'm weraring a black shirt and no ... well you get the idea. Dean
