Tools of the Trade

This is the only enlarger I use. There are actually much nicer ones available, especially since I always work alone, but I just like this one. We've come to an understanding.



Focus-ers. Do they have a real name? I just don't know!



Chemistry trays. Really no more to say, except that when they are not properly cleaned they get disgusting. I discovered this for myself in my own darkroom years ago, and someone else has been discovering it recently in the past couple weeks here at school. Yuck.



Now this little contraption and I do not have an understanding. We are hardly on speaking terms, actually, after its blatant refusal to cooperate a couple weeks ago. Last night we feigned a tentative tolerance of each other, but we both know the truth.
