Your Local Community Darkroom
(Open by Appointment Only)

The Weston Collective’s Satellite Program at B5, 1713 Broadway Avenue in Seaside, California offers the community of Monterey County a unique opportunity to practice traditional black and white film photography. The darkroom consists of four enlargers, two eight foot sinks, stocked chemistry, and drying racks. There is an additional developing room that is separate from the darkroom enabling the ability of printing and developing to occur simultaneously.

There is also the use of the studio space, equipped with three dry mounting presses, a print cutter, negative scanner and large tables for the dry processes of photography. Chemistry provided is Arista Premium. Please determine film development times for specific films you will be bringing in to be processed. Film development chemistry is diluted 1:9.
