I find the whole antiseptic autopsy room darkroom thingy rather difficult to look at. A darkroom needs to have heart, it needs to have feeling to it, it needs to have history. The room should be a place of inspiration and creatively not a shiny stainless steel thing with nothing on the walls. Check out my all time favourite photographers darkroom W. Eugene Smith. Smith was one of the greatest printers of all time and created in my view the greatest photo ever taken "Tomoko Uemura in Her Bath, 1971.
Here is a story on Smith and his darkroom, worth a look see.
