The craft
Why is it called The Darkroom?
Every photograph in the suite was printed by hand in a darkroom, from film. They show the Gulf in every kind of weather, and the pier in most of them is gone now.
The carriage house once held a buggy and a hayloft. The loft floor came out to make the vaulted ceiling, and the big doors became the French doors to the porch.
