Greetings from NJ, USA.

[LudditeJay]

I figured it was time to introduce myself. I started shooting film in the second half of last year after a 9 month introduction to photography with a D40. I am been lurking around APUG for the past couple months, took what I learned and setup a very basic darkroom in a spare bathroom.

I shoot with a Bessa R3m and, occasionally when I buy pack film, a Colorpack II. I print with a B-22 and have been enjoying it thoroughly. The interest in the D40 trickled off very rapidly and I gave it to the girlfriend about 6 months ago and haven't touched it since .

That's about it. I hope to continue my photographic journey and finally participate in the APUG community, which I have learned quite a bit from already.

Welcome Home Jay,

You are a smart man, it didn't take you long to ditch the digital, Nice Move !
Hopefully, you won't become addicted to APUG.

Welcome, from near Washington, DC.

 

[LudditeJay]

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

It's funny that you mention an addiction to APUG. I am accustomed to get on APUG, even if it is just for a couple minutes, at least once a day. This past update on the site is what pushed me to become active. I guess it's due to having a second to think about APUG without actually being on the site.

Hello and welcome to APUG.

From one NJ film shooter to another, welcome. Been shooting film since I was 8, and I'm still using the same darkroom. What part of NJ are you from?
