Re: Workroom Wish List



Maggie:

You'll need more electrical outlets than anyone can even imagine. Get some
in the floor in the middle of the room, if you can.

Lighting is very important, even moreso since the area is in the basement.
Get lighting that mimics the outdoors.

Get another one or two large tables. One is never enough.

Get some sort of little gas stove for cooking paste or whatever.

Get some oversize shelving for storing matboards, polyester film, etc.

Get a good light table for working with photo negs and slides.

Set up an area for taking pictures for displays, presentations and
documentation. This area should be as far away from the "dusty" area as
possible, maybe a small room just for this.

I just love spending other people's money!
