"My earliest remembrance of my father's picture making was in the first house he and mother owned, where he placed boards across the bathtub to hold his trays. In the two other homes they owned, he had darkrooms in the basements. But they were nothing like those one often sees today–installations that could be medical laboratories. His principal furnishing was a large wooden cabinet with a work space above and shelves and swinging doors below–the same one for many decades."
