Greetings from Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA!!!!!

Hello all> Ronin, aka Sid here. I am coming back to photography after a long 10 year hiatus. Had to seel my cameras becasue I found myself going blind around 1995, and subsequently found out that I had a very large tumor in my brain!!! Now that I am somewhat recovered, and my eyesight is somewhat normal, I went out ane bought a 35mm Nikon FM2n, loaded it with triMax B&W and gone to work. Found this wonderful forum a couple of days back, and am very excited to be here and to learn from you all.

Welcome, Sid. I guess nobody on this forum will appreciate the beauty of light more than you. Hope to see your pictures in the gallery soon.

Thanks for the welcome, Hans and Pete. Sure appreciate it.

Pete, would you be interested in a get-together here in ANn Arbor? I am sure that I could arrange for an APUG exhibition at one of the Galleries either at U-M ( at the Art School), or at one of the galleries in town. Do let me know.

Welcome to APUG, Sid! Glad to hear you are on the mend! I'm a Wisconsonite now, but I was a Michigander for most of my life.

This is a great community!
