Oooh . . . cheeky.
Okay, my Bronx is used to being my Model of Convenience when I want to have some fun in the studio. In this case, it was breaking out a 1970s Bronica S2A medium format camera and hooking it up to synch cords to fire studio strobes. Old school, right?
Back in the day - and I am taliing waaaaaay back in the day - I wore a uniform that said "MARTIN" on one side and "US ARMY" on the other. While stationed at Ft. Sill, a veritable garden spot in the red dirt of Oklahoma . . .
[Narrator: It was, in fact, a desolate outpst.]
. . . I would escape the summer heat by developing my own black and white film in a darkroom that the post had for the use of soldiers recreationally. It was air-conditioned!
Y'know, what's old is new again. And with the kids grown, I'm thinking I can commandeer a bathroom to have a home darkroom.
