Have a student coming in to do a introductory darkroom workshop in darkroom #2 on Saturday April 27th. If things go well he will return on Sunday April 28th for a second workshop. Each workshop day costs $180 CAD, so that is a potential $360 earned for the coming trip. $360 will pay for 18 nights of hotels ($20 a night) in Mae Sot Thailand. So a couple of workshops pays for my entire hotel bill in Mae Sot, got to love that! All my workshop money goes directly back into the photography.
It will also be fun to teach again. Spreading the love and joys of working in a real wet darkroom to someone new. I need to work out a few bugs (light leak issues) in the darkroom before Saturday, but the darkroom is up and running and ready to go. I have processes lots of film and also printed in the darkroom.
Things are looking quite good as of late photo wise. All kinds of positives happening just before the coming trip.
1) Library presentation of "Families of the Dump" work set for August 2019
2) A coming online showcase of "Families of the Dump" plus an interview and a collective image photographer profile at AsiaPhotoReview.com/
3) A single, perhaps double darkroom workshop in the new space.
After all of that I will be off to Thailand to make new photographs and to help the families with donation work.
