Darkrooms Close Their Doors
We all know what the digital revolution is doing to film photography. A hidden side-effect is the loss of social interaction between photographers as traditional darkrooms, once a common meeting place, start to close their doors. Will this have a detrimental effect on photography, as we all sit at home/in our offices, working on our own images but never seeing other photographer’s work? (found via Digital Photography Blog
“The communal print-washing pans and the color-printing setup at Latent Image “made it possible for you to see other people’s work,” Ms. Burstein said. “You could be fabulously inspired by it, or feel jealous when someone else printed very beautifully.”

I think the current situation where you can see thousands of photographs from hundreds of professional and amature photographers (on the web) is much more effective than the dark room. And while you have to put up with the occassional obnoxious poster or rant and raver, i've still learned more in the new medium than the old. Sites like Luminous Landscape, Rob Galbraith, Fred Miranda, DP Review just to name a few are outstanding resources for any level of photography.
