A question for those of you who "do it in the dark":

How many rolls do you have to develop before you stop wanting to squee, "THERE'S PICTURES ON IT!" and bounce around the room when you open the tank and look at the film?

Oh, my preciousss little 24mm X 36mm snippetsses of ssscenery in black and white and shadessss of grey. Dry for a while, and then let me look at you more closeley, yessss.

I had to check the name at the top to be sure that your post wasn't actually in much_ado's journal :)

When I had access to a darkroom, and a working conventional 35 mm camera, I hated doing developing (it bored me) but loved printing, and would have danced around the darkroom if there'd been room.

... and when you get there you still are excited by the print fading in in the developer ...

Hmmm. Haven't had my tanks or enlarger, et al, available in a Long time (Still in storage from when I moved down from CT, in ~1991 !!!), but even when I did, it never Entirely wore off. Just faded into the sort of anticipation you get making a favorite dish for supper. After a certain number of tries, you *Know* it will come out At Least edible (~Almost always).
