Nice article. I have fond memories of my wife and I spending hours in the darkroom before our first child was born. She is 33 years old now. I also remember designing and building my first true darkroom that was not just a converted bathroom. The sink was custom built to be at the correct height so I would not have to bend over to work. It had raised slats in the bottom so the trays would not sit on the bottom and water could flow under them and not hold water and chemicals. The rail to mount the enlarger on was bolted directly into the concrete slab and through the rafters so there was no movement at all no matter what you bumped. And best of all it had filtered positive air flow to keep out dust.
That started a life long love of photography.
