On the road -- B&W Photography

Post by jus »

Hi,

First of all, his is my first post but I have been reading this forum for quite some time and advice given here has been helpful to me, so thanks!

On to my topic. My girlfriend and me are going on a big trip to Latin America for a month or four (I'm from Belgium), and as I'm a passionate B&W photographer, I'd love to shoot alot. There is also a mag that wants to publish some of my photos/stories. So here's the problem: how do I develop and print pictures in some far-off country? I've never before had anyone else develop and print my film, and I'd rather not. Maybe I can find a dark room for rent in the larger cities where I can do it myself? Of course the mag wants the pictures right away and not three months later. I've never done such a long trip before so I really have no experience in this domain. Maybe someone here has?


Thanks very much
Justin

Hmm... A daylight tank, like the Agfa Rondinax, is ALWAYS a valuable ally.

As for printing, you may find a fellow photographer who may be willing to rent their darkroom out.
