Hello all from the HolgaPhile - a brief on me

[HolgaPhile]

Hi all, as you may have guessed my primary camera is a Holga but I also use a Zeiss Super Ikonta M and a Leica M6. I mainly work in colour doing both the developing and printing myself. I am based in North London and am a member of the Illusive Silver Printers Photography Circle and London Independent Photographers. My primary work is on 6x6 format and I am currently pushing to get an Associateship into the Royal Photographic Society. My main work is on Urban Landscape but I am also interested in street photography.
What I am mainly interested in on this forum is colour printing and perfecting a style in this, especially as colour is becoming more scarce than and the materials becoming more difficult to acquire. I would also be interesting in meeting up with members in this area to discuss traditional photography over a beer. My main film of choice is Kodak Portra VC, printed on Ilfocolour, now re badged Ilford Digital 2000 and only sold in rolls by special order (sigh).

Please feel free to review some of my images on my website and comment on them at www.icon-photographic.com I will get around to uploading some of my work into the subscribers forum soon as well.

BTW, I have been lurking on this forum for a while as LAMitchell, but as I am now subscribing, I have decided to change my handle to something more appropriate to me.

All the best and thanks for reading, Lee Mitchell.

Welcome to the active part of APUG Lee.
I took a peek at your photos at the website but for some reason it gave me an error when I tried to zoom in. Why don't you post your images in the galleries now that you are a subscriber? Holga color photos sound very cool!
