Hello from Cheltenham, UK.

[AndrewMcC]

Hi, my name is Andrew and I live in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire with my wife and our 5 month bump (due May 2011).

I'm a fairly recent convert from digital to film photography having picked up a Hasselblad 500CM on ebay a year or so ago after Edward Olive (google him) a Brit photographer based in Spain inspired me with his work on Flickr.

I've processed my own films in the bathroom of our apartment in France when I was on sabbatical...totally amazing fun. Now that I am back home in England I've picked up some darkroom equipment and I'm going to take my first steps into the world of prints.

I just discovered this site having grown a little dissalusioned by Flickr...

Welcome to a fun place to learn about film photography!

Be careful, your wife may wonder what you're doing in the bathroom as you become addicted to film! Smiles!

We are here to help each other.

Have a wonderful 2011.
