After a meeting with the better places fair committee this morning I have been able to set up the beginnings of a dark room in Loch Leven Community campus! Now all we need now are the chemicals and some pinhole photographers to roll some film through matchboxes! Please let me know if you would like use of this facility! I think I am going to have a lot of fun here!
