Update

It's octobre 2010 now and I haven't posted for a long time. Some additional work has been done to the darkroom. Electricity is almost finished for the darkroom side. And I'm insulating its ceiling. But you'll have to wait a bit for pictures. Because since september 2010 I'm the sole owner of a photography shop in Ambert. Portraits, weddings and restoration of ancient photographs. 6 days a week from nine to nine. So when I come home I don't have any energy for the darkoom left. I mostly kiss my girls goodnight, eat something, and I plunge down in front of the TV. But I don't give up on the darkroom.

Last spring I attented a collodion workshop in Paris, by Quinn Jacobson.Very inspiring.

And in the shop I get questions of youths about analog darkroom techniques. Young adults who have grown up with digital, but go back to analog. And the public darkroom I created with friends in Clermont-Ferrand is running very well. Between 25 and 30 new students every year. So I started selling darkroom equipment and consumables again in my shop.
