Safe Light Lit Interior Shots Of The New Darkroom Trailer

Some photos from inside the trailer during the first use yesterday. The safe light is only coming from the red filtered (not rubylith) door window. It was a joy to work in the trailer. Great height in the space, power (listened to tunes on my $12 stereo), secured table working area.

I need to to add more battery operated safe lights , add selves, fix up the sink some, add a roof standing area for tripod mounting/photo making, fix the man door lock, add a exhaust fan. I might also look into adding a small a/c unit and a screen door of some kind (to help prevent mass insect invasions when I am shooting up in Northern Canada. Also need to finish the black curtain system to block all light. No more black plastic bags taped to the roof and walls.

So far I love working in my new darkroom trailer. Yesterday's wet plate work was wonderful even thou I was making silly photographs. It is exciting to imagine what the future might hold. Imagine being in the field somewhere in Canada (KANATA) making important work, photography that matters, now that would be extra exciting and so life affirming! That type thing gives life meaning.
