Cant believe i found all film users " hello "

[perfect]

Hi to every one

my name is simon & i am a avid film user for 26 years . I now work as a professional since 1998 , after enjoying this wonderful art as a ameteur for 18 years .

One of the main reasons i turned professional was , that i wanted to keep film traditions alive , and offer my clients in my opinion , convetional photography second to none , regarding image qualities .


Cheers Simon / Si to friends .

Hello. Welcome from the Isle of Wight. For our US friends, that's the little bit hanging off the bottom of England which you might just be able to see on your maps.

Actually, I know where it is, because Baxter Bradford lives close to there, and I asked him where it was.

Dear Simon,

Welcome from another recent recruit, who has been using film even longer than you (40 years this year). What sort of photography do you do?

Cheers,

Roger (www.rogerandfrances.com)

I didn't want you to confuse it with Isle of Wight County, New Engalnd!!!

Hello Simon - I'm a Mancunian (I must be - I'm a City fan!) currently living over the border in the wilds of West Yorkshire - Mytholmroyd, to be precise, although we're moving to North East Scotland in August...

Welcome to the APUG site. I'm a relative newcomer and have found these forums to be an endless source of inspiration.

[Steve Smith]

Hello Simon.

I don't think I know the person you mentioned although the name does sound vaguely familiar. If he is of a similar age to me (41), we may have attended the same schools. Mayfield school is about 100 yards from the end of Jellicoe Road and Ryde High school is about half a mile further on - I attended both.

The Isle of Wight is still very nice but it is suffering, like everywhere else probably, from every spare tiny piece of land having far too many rabbit hutch sized houses built on it. Luckiliy, most of the Island is designated as agicultural or National Trust/AONB and can't be built on.

Steve Smith.

p.s. Where are you?

hi steve

yep he would be 42 , same as me . Is mothers name is Pat Sinclaire , but she remarried around 87 .

glad the isle is still beautiful , had some good times there , use to go to a place called dimes after the pub in ryde , i think thats how it was spelt Dimes ?

simon

 

[Steve Smith]

Hello.

Sounds like he would have been a year above me at school as I'm 41 and was one of the oldest in the class (birthday in September).

I don't remember anywhere called Dimes in Ryde, was that a disco/nightclub?

Steve.

Or Isle of Wight County in Virginia

 

[Steve Smith]

Or Isle of Wight County in Virginia

That's me confused then!! Are there two Isle of Wight counties or did I get the location wrong?

Steve.

 

[Travis Nunn]

The one in Virginia is the only one I know of (only because I live in Virginia), but its very possible there is an Isle of Wight county in another state.

No, I think I was confused. There is a New Hampshire and I thought Isle of Wight County was near to or part of that. The 'real' Isle of Wight used to be part of Hampshire until we became a county in 1971.
Add this to the other English names such as Portsmouth, Southampton, Newport, Sussex, etc. which appear in either Virginia and New England and the confusion increases!!

I can remember my mother showing me an old photograph, probably 1920's, of a distant family member who emigrated to Isle of Wight County and set up a grocery store. I will have to see if I can find it.

Yeah, Virginia borrowed a lot of names from the English. Especially the eastern part of the state. Don't forget Gloucester, Surry (spelled differently), Middlesex, Northumberland, York, Brunswick and all of the other counties and towns named after specific people like Price William County, King George County and on and on.
