Hey,
I should probably know this but,
where's the darkroom?

Hey Lisa,
The darkroom is in Wentworth House on the bottom floor near MacCycle. I want to say room B111, but I'm not positive. However, we do have photographs and other photography related paraphenalia on the door.

Hi there,
I just came back from the darkroom and apparently I'm not on the new darkroom list for 2008-2009. The security lady said there are only 2 names on the list, none of which are mine. The ironic thing is, I've been to the darkroom twice already last week and got the keys signed out.

I'm just asking if any of you execs can please put my name on the list or something ASAP. I've already paid my 30$ fee at the first general meeting.

Also, I was wondering if the chemicals have been updated. I printed a contact sheet and left it in the developer for a LONG time, only a slight, brown faint image came up. I'm not sure if it's my paper that is messed up, or maybe the developer.

Thanks.

Hey Kimsa,
Sorry about the confusion with the security list, I'll get the list updated asap for you. Also, I can check out the chemicals for you and I'll leave another message here.

Kimsa,
I sent your name into the security office so hopefully they transfer your name onto the list. I didn't have your email so hopefully you read this blog.
