Oh, crap! What have I done?
Let’s see. I committed to do a solo photography show, with twenty-seven images. All twenty-seven are 4x5 black and white negatives, so they need to be darkroom printed. And those will be 20x24 prints. Yeah, and I need to have them matted and framed. The icing on the cake? I have just under three months to do this.

Winning The Competition
I was in Oracabessa, Jamaica when I won this competition.

I started photographing him 7 years ago and continued so to the very end. These photos are very clo...
For the 7th interview in our Community Focus series we're heading to Oslo to chat to Cyan Darkroom.
Let’s start easy. Tell us a little about the darkroom, what it’s called and how it started.
Cyan darkroom is part of Cyan studio that is a co-op community photostudio and workspace. The studio was opened in 1998 and has always had a darkroom attached. In 2020 we got hold of a separate space where we built a much larger darkroom, hoping that the timing was right to attract enough new users. After a...
