LMFAO! haha well I find darkroom fun and exciting but I didn't know people also like it for getting high on chemical fumes . I have heard that certain things you just can't achieve with digital cameras, like certain styles of b&w photography.

Don't think anyone stays there to get high, it's just one of those things that happen, and it's more a case of pounding headache than a high, that and there was always a lock on the inside of the dark room, so lots of dirty things happened.

I'm not too sure about not being able to achieve things, but it's certainly more fun solarising a real photograph than it is just using the filter in photoshop.

Yeah, I suppose I should use my dad's XTi, but he bitches about it when I mess around with it.

Now these are GREAT.
First bit of work I've liked so far logging in tonight.

oh pfft. Tell him to stop acting like a grumpy old dude, well maybe he is grumpy and old but at least he should let his son get some experience and learn more about something he is interested in. I know how it is like to have unsupportive parents

Maybe he doesn't want the settings to be changed.

great idea, looks very professional imo.

He uses full auto, and that's it.

-.- then he is a grumpy old guy
Well I think you should show him some pics you have taken and tell him what you have learned about photography MAYBE he will allow you to use his camera.

He doesn't disallow me to use it, he just bitches when I do. My god, I'm high off of Dayquil, I can't focus on anything my eyes just keep on wandering...
