Hi, I'm a Sunday photographer still learning photography since 5 years. I found here yesterday and immediately joined. This is really a nice place - so warm and open.

I take B&W photos to develop and print by myself, not so good but I enjoy the procedure itself. My favorite films and chemicals are being discontinued but here I can see hope.

God created human in analog, not digital!

Thanks for reading.

AGFA APX and Rodinal. I like that deep solid black.

APX may have joined the Dodo bird but Rodinal is still available and will be in the future. Can you find other films like Ilford and Kodak?

Welcome to APUG!

butterflydream · Apr 3, 2006

Thanks for welcome. Also thanks for good news about Rodinal.
Of course I can buy here Ilford, Kodak, Fuji, Konica and even Rollei B&W films.
I just fell in love with APX that goes tragic end - or the tragic end beautifies it?

Here I found information that a sponsor called freestyle still carries APX and just placed the order for 150 rolls. Unfortunately they can't ship Rodinal outside continent US.

komapsumnida !!! It is always good to see someone new, especially from such a wonderful place as South Korea. What city do you live in?

Thanks roteague, I'm living in a city called Sungnam near Seoul and working in Incheon. Not so photogenic places, though. Good to see someone speaks Korean.

It has been many years since I was last in Seoul. I used to live near Pyongtaek, and in Waegwan - US Army - about 5 years total. My ex-wife is Korean; she is from Taejon.

I'm looking forward to seeing some of your pictures, I'm sure they will bring back lots of memories.

You can already click my blog address below signature to see some photos of mine. Not so much documentary to see Korean, but still a bit maybe...

By the way Heins Ward arrived in Korea with his mother yesterday.

I've been going through your photos and I am positively surprised! You have a very body of BW work! The funny thing is that even though I've been to Korea myself (very little time at the south on a journalistic trip), a lot of your photographs have this international feeling, like they could be in any place of the world. You have a wonderful sense of detail and composition.
