Reminds me of a window in DC's Chinatown where they make noodles in front of you. Great photo! Where is this?

Thanks. :) I took it in Montreal's Chinatown.

I've come back to view this photo a couple of times now. I really like it, I want to go there. Your photos have been great, is it a hobby of yours regularly?

I've been doing photography as a hobby for about 7 years, and I took a few photography classes while I was in high school. I haven't really shot on a regular basis the past few years, especially since I haven't had any darkroom access, but it's still something I do just for fun.

It shows. I studied photography in college for a semester. I used to really enjoy working in a dark-room. Seems those days are over and done with.

I went to school for a bit as a photography major as well, before digital photography became so monolithic.

There was something so serene about the smell of chemicals and the radio playing in the dim red light.

you nailed it, and there was the added bonus of taking the cute girl you were in to at the time to the developing room and showing her how it was done. Those were the days…

Another great picture. So far I'm loving all of your work. Keep it coming!

Thanks, I appreciate it! :) I've been pretty impressed by how many great photos there have been in the entire challenge so far.
