Please don't call me crazy....


Please...
because I recently donated a whole dark room...
Enlarger, paper, canisters, instruction manuals,
etc...
to a student of photography...
young, inexperienced, enthusiastic, naive,
and surprised at the volume of
equipment that was being offered for free...
This equipment was stored at my parents' home,
and had tons of old emotions from a failed marriage
attached to each piece...
Sadness...
Worry...
Fear...
Anger....
Well, you get the picture,
I just simply couldn't look at it anymore.
So,
I called the local Community college...
found a photography instructor,
asked him to find a deserving student,
who could really use a break...
And he delivered.
They loaded a truck on a rainy afternoon...
and drove off with part of my history.
Whew!

  1. Excellent idea. Loosen those cobwebs and giving a hand-up.
    If that's crazy, pass it my way, please:>)

  2. I don't think you're crazy at all.

    I assume you have all the equipment you need and this was superfluous. Why hang on to it? The good karma of your donation will be repaid to you at some point in the future.
