ReelquenchFilm lab & community darkroom
The darkroom under a red safelight: a strip of developed negatives and a fresh print hang from a drying line by clothespins, above three trays, a developing tank and a film reel on the counter.
Frame 12 The drying line, a Tuesday evening.

Your film, developed by hand upstairs.

Drop a roll at the counter and it comes back developed, scanned and sleeved in five business days. Or book the darkroom by the session and print it yourself.
