Grace Plaza, NYC

Last week I made my way back into the darkroom. It's been months, and I was surprised to learn that Selectol was no longer in production. It's been a while since I've printed with just Dektol.

The darkroom was quiet. There were but three or four people printing, and the halls felt empty. I was making a few prints for friends, in addition to adding one more print to my Labrang series. The hours passed; images appeared within the developer bath. I washed and toned the prints. I washed them again and then put them in the dryer and set to wait. Time passed.

I left the darkroom mid-afternoon. There were a few hours left in the day, and I looked forward to spending some time outside. I took this picture as I was leaving, just outside the door.
