Hello from Indiana

[cjbecker]

Hello everybody,

I am actually one of the few that is not from the film era that continues to shoot it. I am 20 and begun shooting with a nikon fe about 10 years ago, actually I still have a print that I made in the darkroom from the first roll that I shot. Did that for a long time and got a digital camera to do some paid shoots about 4 years ago. About the same time I bought a 500cm. After a few shoots with the digital, I quickly sold it and just shot and developed all my own film for fun. About 2 years my friend started to shoot weddings, he asked me to be his second shooter. I quickly accepted and have done about 6 wedding now. I have since then bought another digital and started again to do paid shoots. Again I am finding out how much I hate digital cameras. But on the plus side I am actually seeing the possibilities of shooting film for both personal and professional. Also the drive in me to be a photographer is there, more so then last time.

that is my story and you can see why I enjoy a forum like this one.

I am hoping to find other photographers from Indiana that we can start a network with.

Hello,
I've been in the Indianapolis area (northwest suburb) for the past seven years. There are a few film shooters left around here, and it would be nice to meet more. Drop me a note if you're in the area and would like to meet/share work.

All the best,
Daniel

It is the camera that has led me to today. I still shoot is often. the only change that is made to it since I got it is a winder for it. Love the way that it shoots and feels

That is quite a trek from here. It is a bummer how far we are apart.
