Since I'm replying to threads I may as well introduce myself . . . *stands up* Hi, my name is Mike and I'm an alternative processes addict :-D
Yup, I'm one of those strange people who processes film & paper in leftover coffee, makes (well attempts to make) dry plates in his bathroom, and in my spare time play with halo-chrome toner & emulsion lifts (sometimes even in the same project - MADNESS!
While I typically shoot 35mm with the occasional 4x5 I've embarked on a large format project this summer, working almost exclusively with plates & orthocromatic sheet film as a way to discipline myself into choosing & composing shots more carefully (limited to 10 film/plate holders before I have to go home and process it all, so I'm a bit more discriminating than normal).
