This N.L. photography group is developing a darkroom for the whole community to use
CBC
Taking photos has never been easier, unless you want to do it the old-fashioned way: on film.
Not so long ago, turning a roll of film into a stack of photos was as easy as stopping by your local pharmacy or grocery store.
But as the one-hour photo business began to fade, a group of photographers in St. John's began organizing around the goal of developing a community darkroom.
They call their group DarkNL, a clever play on the popular hashtag that blew up during a massive power outage in 2014.
DarkNL directors Johnny Lush, Graham Cox, and Ethan Murphy are inching closer to securing a space for a community darkroom, but in the meantime, they're working to build the community itself.
The group is holding a series of workshops and lectures this summer, aiming to make film developing and other analogue photography techniques more accessible.
