I use this back room all the time in the studio we use, it used to be a darkroom and now its sort of a storage space with peeling paint and grungy floors and just not a place you'd really think of as a place to make photographs. Perfect! I want to actually go in an fix-up the room, clean it and make it into something, but then will that ruin what is happening in there? There are many things that distract me in the space, so eventually I'll do something about it, but until then its fun taking people back into this space and telling them this is where I'm going to take some cool photos of them and seeing there reaction. I think its kinda funny that I'm sure people lose confidence in me when I take them into that room, but usually, I'd say so far everyone, has come away and really like the photos I've gotten. Many have made them their lead homepage picture on their website. The other neat thing is I usually use a cheap floor lamp and my cheap lights in that back room. The stuff I do in the nice clean studio with all the expensive equipment turns out well too, but I think everyone is a little surprised when some of their favorite images are the ones taken in the crappy old dungy, grungy former darkroom.
