Goodbye Darkroom

joanne-Leonard-WB.jpgJoanne Leonard

Joanne Leonard has been a photographer for decades. She often used a makeshift home dark lab, but after taking a job teaching photography at the University of Michigan, she was able to pay someone to build a darkroom for her.

Technology has meant many changes in the photography world, and Joanne recently made a decision to dismantle her darkroom.

She tells us what it was like to take apart and pack up a room that has been a defining part of her life for over three decades.

She also talks with Dick about one particular photograph - of her sister-in-law Sonia, hanging laundry when she was pregnant.
