I was a "spaghetti man" for the Chicago Board of Education photographer in the summers of 1966 and 1967. That's the dumb assistant who holds the remote flashes which were attached by long wires - the spaghetti. He taught me the basics of using a Graflex 4x5 and then taught me the basics of black and white darkroom work. I later had a darkroom of my own which I resurrected about 5 years ago when my daughter became interested in photography. But for me film is a thing of the past. I do strictly digital now. I am strictly a low talent amateur. I don't have the eye to be a pro or an artist.
