I'm relatively new to analog photography and, as follows logically, to photography in general. I was attracted to the art of working with film and printing in a darkroom by way of digital photography. I know I'm not supposed to use that word around here, but I'd not be a part of this group without it! The ease and convenience of my little point and shoot digital has lead to lots of work with black and white 35mm film, an interest in antique cameras and some initial poking around with large format.
As a result, I'm not at all *anti* digital. I consider my DSLR another tool in my image capturing arsenal along with my Nikon F100, an old Brownie, some 127 box cameras and a classic Polaroid SX70. I suppose I'm "playing the field" as I figure out what I want to do and where I want to go with photography. No matter what, however, I can't envision life without film and darkroom. Even if the results of my work aren't all that great, I find the process enormously satisfying.
So I'm very happy to have found this community!
