Once again, sorry for the long time between episodes. Today we talk about Social Distancing and Photography. These are crazy times we live in right now and we all need to do the best we can to keep ourselves, our loved ones and each other healthy. Just a few thoughts on ways to do this with Photography. Also, we have a call in review of the Versalab Parallel Laser Alignment tool from Mike Kukavica. This is an excellent review of a product that I could put to good use in my darkroom. Great job Mike! Mike can be found at drunk_darkroom on Instagram and at kukavica.com. Be sure to visit our Facebook group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1574457682653272/ Keep on fixin'

Over the last year or so I have delved into large format photography. This has taken my film processing to a new level. In this episode I explore the ins and outs of Dip and Dunk film processing. It is a great way to process sheet film as well as roll film.

A shout out for content and reviews. And a big thank you to our Facebook group participants. I am really hoping to do more of these in the coming weeks. There are many things I want to talk about and I will try to do it more Ted Viera style, short and sweet. (Yeah Man). Spread the word, A Light In The Dark is back!

I finally do another episode after almost 3 months. It has been a long time and I certainly missed it. In this episode we cover getting into my new darkroom and how that has been going. What I have done so far and what I plan to do. A shout out to all my friends on the Facebook Group, it has developed into a nice community of great people doing darkroom work or at least interested in doing it. I hope we inspire more and more people to take the plunge and experience the magic of darkroom printing.

On todays episode we will chat with Svein Olav Humberset. Svein is a professional photographer and passionate film photographer and darkroom aficionado from Ørsta Norway. He is the creator of Viewfinder Vikings, an excellent new film photography podcast. We will discuss his life as a professional photographer and how that came to be as well as his passion for the art of photography and the creative process. This is a long one but I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Svien and hope to have him on the show again someday.

This is a short one. Trying a new format in that I recorded it on my phone during my daily commute. Setting up a basic, minimalist darkroom and a call in from Mike Gutterman.
