It is amazing how Internet has influenced spread of LF in North America and the World.
I started with photography in late sixties with a 35mm snap shutter and interest in super 8 movie productions. I was looking at the Hasselblad and said I will own one one day. Thirty years later I have two. But really I had not a clue that LF even existed. There was not much edvertising for LF . Maybe because I was in Europe. When we moved to Canada I bought 35MM AE1 in 79 not knowing any better.(I wish I had APUG then) and I used it till 99. The ball started rolling when friend of mine gave me 4X5 Crown Graphic. Size did matter, huge negatives(vis a vis 35mm). I fell in love. Then 2004 I met APUG and the whole new world opened up for me. After I got Green Monster from Jim I newer looked back. My world is spinning, my enthusiasm is back. I can't wait to log on to learn new things, or go out and mesmerize people on the street, What is this guy doing with the big box. And I know I am here to stay.
