Just joined (that is made a cash donation) yesterday and I would like to introduce myself. I developed my first roll of film in 1945 while in grade school. From that time on I was hooked. I did many things to make a living doing photography, weddings, products, portraits. Worked in camera stores, mass B&W commerical photofinishing, etc. Never could make a go of it full time but provided a second income on a part time basis. I work in the darkroom about 20+ hrs a week, since I retired 10 years ago. We trailered a lot until 2001 when I had the first of 3 major surgeries and had to give up trailering. During that time I shot a lot of TX and HP5 with my 2 EOS A2E and assorted lensed. so have many negatives to keep me busy. I hope to have a local gallery display of my work this fall. My prints will be llx14 MGIV, fibre, glossy except maybe some matte if I decide to hand color them. I will mat them and frame with sectional aluminum frames. I have a extensive collection of cameras from 4x5 down to baby brownie 127s. I use D76 and LPD or DEkTOL, Heico perma wash, Ilford Hypam rapid and Kodak selenium. If any one has questions I'll be around. I live in Joliet, Il, 30 miles SW of Chicago.

Welcome from enchanting New Mexico, Walt.
Sounds like you're having a good time in the dark room. Being as you appear to shoot 4x5, too, be sure to "vote" in the thread about the age of LFers. We need more in the 60+ categories.
