Hi all,
The best of the new year to you all.
I=92ve been shooting pics since I was about, well, maybe, too long ago =
to
remember.  Started using a Speed Graphic in high school as the school
photog and during college I ran the Architectural darkroom as an
assistant.  But,,, I wasn=92t serious about photography until about  4-5
years ago when the kids flew the nest and extra time/money came
available.  Shortly after the kids left, we did too and have spent about
1 =BD yrs messing about and finally found a place to settle on the north
Oregon coast.  Beautiful area. (Vera, where are you at?  Love to see you
sometime) I=92ve been accumulating cameras, mostly LF, (2 =BC, 3 =BC, =
4x5,
5x7, and one 8x10) and have finally built my dream darkroom and begun to
work on BW printing.  Whew! Lots to learn.  I=92m thinking I need a
workshop with John Setton or Bruce Barnbaum to tune up what little I
know about all that.  Spent a wonderful month in Italy last summer and
came home with several rolls of MF BW film which I=92m just beginning to
print.  What a great place for BW photography as well as color.  Gotta
go back soon, somehow.
Well, that=92s me in a nutshell.
Loren
