Hello from Canada

[John cox]

Hello, my name is John Cox and I've been browsing threads here the past few days and was impressed by the content and quality; I hope I have something decent to contribute and I'm sure I'll learn a lot.

I've been working as a photographer for the past seventeen years from when I started covering after school activities for a local newspaper. I started out with a Polaroid land camera and currently shoot Digital, Bonica MF, and leica M/L39. My most loved film is TXP 320 (120/220) and still have some as I buy it whenever I see it. If you know of any that the owner will part with let me know. I also have a large collection of toy/box cameras from 1886-1970.

I really like working with film because of the sheer deliberation involved. Taking a picture with film forces you to slow down and pay attention to composition exposure and focus. I feel this is lacking in a lot of photography today.

I live in Orangeville Ontario but will be moving to Toronto in the near future.

Hello John, from Paul in the mountains of Western Canada.

I really like your attitude!

Now, where is Ontario...is it anywhere near Ottawa?

Hi John, from another fellow Canuck located in the middle of the Prairies. I too love TXP and has some 120/220 in my freezer that I am not willing to sell as it is one of my favorite films ever. Glad you like the site, some of us spend a lot of time here.

Welcome John from Pakenham Ontario. That is just outside of Ottawa.

My wife and I own a small gallery called the 3 yellow Tulips here. We have a lot of folks come in to discuss photography hee. We sell a lot of B/W here. Please feel free to come by any time and introduce yourself.

Hope to meet you soon.

Hi John. Welcome to APUG.

 

[Mike Wilde]

Look up Pete Heirlehy (sp?- I always have a hell of a time spelling it right) in Orangeville before you leave town.

I know him from time he and I linked up at the brampton Print group in the past.

He is a most superb b& photogrpaher and printer who has been at it for years . he moved to digital, to better market his fine art images, but has a great body of b&w work as well.

Glad you found us, and feel Apug is a good resource.
