       my copy of the new back to basics: a guide to ecological photo chemistry just arrived yesterday in the mail (from UK, irony not lost on me). really excited to dig in!!there's a digital copy available in their shop: https://sustainabledarkroom.com/products/back-to-basics-digitalalso, for folks interested in this sort of thing in the bay area, east bay photo collective periodically has been doing plant developer workshops (I haven't been able to make it to one yet, but I want to!): https://www.ebpco.org/events/film-processing-with-plants

       I've been concerned about the ecological impacts of film photography and darkroom processes for a bit, but recently have started worrying a bit more about chemical toxicity due to some health impacts a friend who does wetplate photography has experienced. scary stuff. modern darkroom chemistry is less toxic than wetplate chemistry, but still can have negative impacts on health longterm. I'm considering starting to use gloves when developing my film.

       I also kind of wish HMPC wouldn't do wet plate collodion classes, especially because they mention nothing about bringing or providing PPE in the workshop descriptions.
