Handed her a film SLR and a roll of HP5+, developed her roll in the kitchen, and then we went to the local rental darkroom and showed her how to make a contact sheet and print an image, plus the basics of test strips, exposure, contrast, and dodging. She thinks it's the coolest thing. Wants to take a photography class and a darkroom class this summer. Has no interest in Photoshop or other digital workflow. Reminds me of vinyl LPs, tube amps, typewriters, and other outmoded technologies that are enjoying a renaissance of sorts. Well, not sure about the typewriters.
