Anthony Browell’s darkroom looks fairly conventional on the ‘wet’ side; enlargers, easels, trays, sink, boxes of photo paper and bottles of chemicals occupy the small and tidy space where all his developing and printing happens. But the ‘dry’ side could as easily belong to a woodworker as a professional photographer. Row upon row of beautiful carpentry tools hang on the wall adjacent to the door into the darkroom proper. Overhead, a laundry line is bowed slightly from the ceiling by the dozen or so 10 x 8-inch black and white negatives from his latest photographic foray.
