Koa is a broad with a garage of chemistry. I’ve had a darkroom in some way or form pretty much everywhere–at least, that there is record of ! Including this place a few years ago. Back after being inspired ( & gear acquired ) to have this space.

Middle kid, I know how to share & Corvallis’ former community darkroom closed a few years back. Hence, gear. Space. Share. Time… not so much, at least, not beyond me, Mouse & the outside. But if you like silver & pixels, let’s play. At least, share place.
