| Back in 1969-70 I was introduced to the art & science of photography. Maurice Conklin was my mentor, he brought me into the darkroom where I first saw the magic under the amber light of a shiny white piece of paper soaking in a clear liquid magically forming an image. I admit at times I miss the darkroom, as I spent 30 years working in them. Photoshop has it's own magic, but in a chemical darkroom you felt like an alchemist! Maurice was an Engineer for Defense Research, and was a long time member of the Camera Club of Ottawa. In 1970 he introduced me to the CCO, and I have been a member ever since. |

I don't miss the darkroom, the chemical smell, the dark, the red light, i can live well without all that, photoshop is much cleaner and i am not allergic, i love your portrait photo, MJ
