Hints
to Darkroom Users
A
dark-room is a lovesome spot, God
wot,
And
the EPS dark-room can certainly be lovesome
If
only members will remember to shove some
Water
into the dishes they have been using and thus avoid all
Risk
of leaving a deposit of colloidal
Silver
or other foreign matter in the dishes
Much
against the Curator’s wishes.
Moreover,
although physical development is a perfectly
legitimate
dark-room affair
It
cannot be too strongly emphasized that the apparatus provided there
Is
not intended for the physical development of those using it.
Whoever
practices all-in wrestling with the enlarger
Ought
to have his head on a charger.
The
dark-room regulations, it is diffidently suggested,
are
intended to be read, marked and inwardly digested
Finally
to conclude this somewhat offensive effusion,
I
should like to wish utter confusion
On
the unscrupulous removers of the Society’s magazines
May
the pinholes in their negatives be counted in teens.
“Ogden McNash”
1950
