Great story about going on the photo shoot with the pro. I too have done the bathroom darkroom, as well as a basement darkroom. Most will be surprised to learn that a darkroom for making prints doesn't need to be all that light tight. I've meant to build a darkroom in my current house complete with all of the bells and whistles of a darkroom sink and film changing room. The pandemic delayed my plans a little, but one of these days I'll get to it. I think there were a lot of clues along the way that people would embrace the current world of smartphone cameras, but I don't think it was obvious at the time. The "selfie" has been around for ever. My first cell phone had a mirror on the front so you could properly compose your own selfie. MySpace (and others) really popularized sharing these images. Instagram found a niche popularizing the hyperreality of the digitally edited selfie.
