Now, you didn’t vote for The Dark Room because they tap a keg every First Friday for their gallery show, did you? It was probably the friendly help, the variety of new and used gear and the basement darkroom geared to those of you who still believe “photo shop” is a place, not a program. You can still pick up film and developing chemicals here like it’s 1995. For those that have gone digital: Cards, readers and manuals abound. Of course, the free beer is a nice touch.
