AloneintheDarkroom一个人的欢喜

1、Alone in the Darkroom 一个人的欢喜I have spent seven weeks every summer for the past seven years at a camp in a small town called Poland， Maine.Poland Springs is the only major attraction in Poland and the town itself is tiny by my big city standards ， but it is the perfect place to spend my summers.

There are many places on the camp that I love ， one of them being the darkroom in the photography lab. I love black and white film3 ) photography ， especially when I ge

To those of you who have never been in a darkroom ： n

4、umber one， an enlarger is the machine that projects the image from your film onto paper ， and number two ， try your hardest to go into one someday； it really is an incredible experience that I highly recommend. Its amazing to take a picture of something ， to capture a single object or moment ， and t

I had absolutely nothing to worry about ， and the images all came out better than I could have imagined. I still have one mounted6 ) on my wall in my room ， of a loose single feather

The room was filled with the strong smell of the photo chemicals and Taylor Swifts Fearless was blasting8 ) from the iPod speakers ( another benefit of being alone in the darkroom is being able to choose the background music without the opinion of ten other girls ) .

7、 Cause I dont know how it gets better than this， I sang along to the familiar lyrics.In that moment ， I felt I could do anything. A wave of reassurance9) rushed over me， making me feel that no matter what happens in the future ， everything would end up okay. I realized how incredibly lucky I am to b

8、e able to spend my summers in a place where I know my best friends are never farther than a two-minute walk away. I thought about how although I was alone during that time ， camp is a place where I constantly feel surrounded by support and love. I promised myself that I would remember to be grateful

9、 for the small ， seemingly insignificant moments like this one in my life thatmake me who I am.过去的七年里，每年夏天我都会去缅因州一个名叫波兰 的小镇，在那里的一处营地待上七周。波兰泉是那儿唯一的主要景点，而且按照我对大城市的 界定标准，波兰镇本身很小。不过，它却是我度过暑期的完 美去处。在那里，我的周围就有几家冰淇淋店和龙虾餐厅， 有一个美丽的湖，有味道饴人的饮用水，还有挚友们相伴。 营地里有很多地方我都非常喜欢，摄影工作室里的暗室便是 其中之一。我喜欢用黑白胶卷摄影，尤其热衷于把世界上自 己最喜

10、爱的地方的黑白照片冲洗出来。在刚刚过去的这个夏天，有一日我很幸运地得以独自一 人待在暗室里，这种情况很少出现，因为这里常常被总共七 台照片放大机塞得满满当当的。针对那些从未进过暗室的 人，有几点要说明一下：第一，放大机是把胶卷上的影像投 射到相纸上的一种机器；第二，尽可能争取哪天进暗室里看 一看，这真的是一种非凡的体验，我向大家强烈推荐。拍一 张照片，照下某件物品或是捕捉到某个瞬间，然后还可以看 着它的影像在你眼前慢慢显现， 这个过程太神奇了。 在这 45 分钟里，我感到无比幸福，根本无须担心任何事情，而且所 有影像的显影效果都好得超乎我的想象。我房间的墙壁上至 今还裱挂着一张这样冲洗出来的照片，照片上是一片散落的 羽毛孤零零地躺在砾石小路上。暗室里充斥着洗照片用的化 学制剂散发出来的浓烈气味，用 iPod 播放的泰勒 ?斯威夫特 的歌曲“Fearless”震天价响一一独自待在暗室的另一个好处 便是你可以随意选择背景音乐，而不必在意其他十位女生的 意见。“因为我不知道如何变得比这更好。 ”我跟着熟悉的歌 词一起唱了起来。在那一刻，我觉得自己无所不能。一阵慰藉涌上心头， 让我觉得无论未来发生
