Happy Saturday! (is that what day it is??) Our members should have received an email already, but the Darkroom is currently closed (as of March 22) as directed by State and Local governments in effort to curb non-essential activity and travel. It’s a great day to catch up on reading, so I’ll be revisiting some favorite black and white instructional books today. What are your favorites?
