APUG in the news!!!

[JustK]

I am not sure where to post this, and pardon me if someone else already did, but... in the Business section of today's The Hartford Courant is a front page article entitled "Preserving a Craft" - Web Helping Far Flung Traditionalists Keep Analog Photography Alive, and one huge photo of David Goldfarb, and a smaller one of Rowland Mowrey, with nice plugs for Michael A. Smith/Paula Chamlee, Sean Ross/APUG, and J and C, here's the text below, but if you want to see the photos as well, just go to www.courant.com and search for "Preserving A Craft". Enjoy!!!

Actually, we have been following this story for the past couple of days here on APUG. The article has appeared in a number of newspapers around the country - it is an AP article, which almost every paper in the country picks up.

Thanks for the reference. We've been discussing the article in this thread--

(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

I deleted the text of the article from your post for copyright reasons, but the other thread contains links to various versions of it (each paper may edit it a bit differently).

Shame nobody told David he needs to stand on the other side of the camera and load the film to take a pic.....

Well, some days I stand on one side and put in a filmholder, and other days I stand on the other side and stop down the lens and set the shutter speed.

Actually we had a funny moment when Bebeto Matthews wanted to get a shot of me firing the shutter, but I had to tell him he was standing in my shot.

What?!? Set the shutter and aperture?? "F/8 and be there" does not work?? Well dammit!!! No wonder.....

Thanks and Congratulations David! I did not see the thread because I never enter "The Lounge". And I am glad to see that the article was carried in newspapers around the country. Cheers, Krystyna
