I love to spend time in my darkroom, but, unlikely, I move to another town for a new job last year and in my new home I haven't enough space for a darkroom... so only one time a month or less, when I came back to my first home, I can use it.........🙁

I moved home in April this year and am now finally getting round to building a new one. I've no idea how long it will take, especially with two very young children.
It's been almost 11 months since I've printed. Before we moved my darkroom (part of the garage) became a 'sort things out ready to move / junk room'. 🙁

I do the hybrid-thing. Afther devloping the film, digitalize the negatives. No space for a dust controlable darkroom.

Under the current circumstances - once in a week.
But since I gave up on digital a while ago, it's just a matter of time when I'll be wet-printing at home. Once in a week isn't exactly enough for me.

Currently my darkroom equipment is in storage, but I plan to build a darkroom in my house. I miss the one I used in another house I sold eight years ago and, having to work with digital pictures every day, I need an antidote to all the silicon-bound stuff. And yes, I will be making prints the traditional way, because there's magic in having prints come out of the soup, and also because I can't afford the $2,000 for a Coolscan 9000.

I'm printing about every 2 or 3 days at the moment.

BTW, I have yet to get into self-developing (film of course) process. As far as self-printing, I don't think I will ever do.

It's been too long for me - 9 months? I moved to a house with a 2.5 car garage about 4 months ago and have been slowly building mine - footprint on the ground is only 6 ft x 4.5 ft. It will be tight but I've worked in smaller/less convenient. I'm getting excited. Hopefully I'll be in there at least once a week.

This isn't moving backward, my friend - you're being enlightened.
If anything, you're moving forward.

Yes i know that many people may think that this is enlightenment, that's what i think and i am grateful i ended up with this, but unfortunately the biggest piece of the pie goes to people that think i am going backwards.
On the other hand, who gives a damn for em 😀

Usually once or twice a week. Far too busy with new job and a house full of relatives for the past three months so there is a backlog of negatives that need looking at.

Sam, generally I'd agree with you in intent but unfortunately most of the people who can't see why a person would go "backward" can't really "see" in the first place.

I'm loving the luxury and convenience of a dedicated darkroom space - I'm lucky there (the sort of luck you have after years of hard work). It's nice to be able to just pop in there to load some film, or quickly develop a roll after dinner. I'll print about twice a week on average, and I also do my scanning in there as the darkroom is very free of dust compared to the house.

I put down once a week in the poll although I haven't use one in quite a while.
I had not long finished building a new darkroom for myself when someone thought it a good idea to set fire to the retail premises below me. All of my gear was smoke damaged but I manage to salvage and clean up most of it. It will be a while before the reconstruction has been finished so that I can set up again. When I do get my darkroom back I doubt if my wife will see me at all for at least a few weeks, I can't wait to start printing again. Scanning negatives is just not the same for me, I much prefer the "feel"
of a darkroom print.
