Very interesting to hear how everyone works - quite a variety.
My work is all personal and about 40% B&W and 60% Color slide. The only digital I have is a P&S and those images are web-only for sharing experiences with family/friends.
For B&W - I prefer to develop myself and darkroom print but unfortunately do not have a darkroom or space for one. Fortunately during the past couple summers I've been able to do this at a community dark room. I love the results, just wish I had more time.
For Color - I scan the slides on a Coolscan 9000 and print using one of two Canon inkjets - one big, one small. I'm okay with the results and like being able to keep the process in-house.
I'd like to have some digital c-prints made but have not tried this yet - partially time, partially cost. Ideally I'd like to be able to do direct optical color prints - but don't think that is available anymore for slides. (If i'm wrong here - please educate me).
Lifestyle is very transitory at the moment - so some things get put in storage like the big ink-jet printer. No way to move a print darkroom around at the moment.
Occasionally do some cyanotypes and would like to do some pt/pd at some point as well. Cyanotype is a nice compact process - just keep a bottle each of A and B, paper, sheet of glass, and negatives for this either direct from MF/LF film or printed with inkjet on vellum or Pictorico.
