Photography by Dan Murano

The first roll of film I processed was in a semi-darkened bathroom where a friend and I poured deodorants, perfumes and medications over a milky roll of Verichrome Pan. It was fun, but of course it didn’t work.

Soon after that, we were off to the local library where we found a little green book on darkroom magic. Newly armed with knowledge and chemicals, we tried it again.

I still remember our glee as we unspooled our first roll of black and white negatives, and how we marveled under the red safelight when our first print appeared through the developer in mom’s ice cube trays.

I’ve been hooked ever since.

A list of what I love to photograph includes almost everything:

I love landscapes and urban-scapes, street photography, industrial photography, portraits and cats, abstract designs of reflections and shadows and lines, architecture and still life.

I classify my work as journalistic / fine art.
