All of these chemicals should be handled carefully, and a person can experience bodily harm from them by getting them on the skin, in the eyes, ingesting them, or inhaling the fumes. These chemicals may cause serious skin irritation and can be absorbed through the skin. They can also cause eye irritation and damage if the chemical is splattered into the eye. If ingested they can cause serious bodily harm, especially kidney damage. Any of the chemicals entering the body is NOT GOOD. If the chemical is in the eyes, rinse eyes in the eye flushing station for 15 minutes, then seek medical care. If it is ingested dilute the chemical by drinking 4 cups of water and then seek medical attention, do not induce vomiting. If it is on the skin, wash skin for several minutes with soap and water, if irritation persists seek medical attention. The vapors can cause headaches nausea and dizziness, and prolonged exposure may cause asthma, so if you experience these symptoms leave the room for a while. If the chemicals get onto clothing, change clothes as soon as possible and wash them before wearing them again. Chemicals can be transferred from one thing to the next, so be aware that chemicals on the hands may end up on the next thing touched, which may potentially be food, so wash your hands. Some people are more sensitive to these chemicals than others and may experience more serious symptoms. Pregnant women should not expose themselves to this chemical. The material safety data sheets are located in the room right outside of the dark room, where prints are dried, there is info hanging on the wall about it.

Is it ok for me to post your name on the class blog if I post your answers to these questions?

Here is a helpful link for safety concerns regarding photo developing by Princeton University

Ross Halfin is known mostly for photographing musicians, but he has a TON of stuff in his online gallery. He makes use of the 3eds rule, especially when taking landscape photos. The light, colors and content make his photos pretty interesting. The travel photos are probably the most visually appealing
