Hello from Osaka

[Taurabon]

I found out about PHOTRIO a few days ago, and after reading a few threads, I knew I had to join.

I've been taking photos seriously for about 35 years, and I work as a stage photographer. Outside of work, I use cameras ranging from Minox to 8x10". I also enjoy darkroom work.

I'm also researching photo format standards. I don't know the origins of names for formats unique to Japan, such as "Yatsugiri" and "Nimaigake", so while I was researching them, I realized that it's not enough for them to just be buried in Japanese literature in Japan.

I'm looking forward to learning a lot here. Thank you.

Welcome to Photrio. Japan is my second home. I had a wee darkroom, (mainly 8x10 camera work) and exhibited regularly (I lived near Fukuoka City). Hoping to get set up there again soon (was just there for a couple months...visiting family, friends, and of course, photography!) Cheers!

Thank you for the welcome. Fukuoka City is one of the cities I want to live in. Please let me know when you hold a photo exhibition in Japan again. Cheers! (How did you know I was drinking beer now?)

Welcome aboard! It'd be very interesting indeed to hear about practices and standards that exist in Japan, but that we've been overlooking in the West.

Welcome! I will be again visiting my son working in Tokyo this winter. Hoping to bring along the 4x5 or possibly the 5x7.

Thank you for the welcome.
In fact, here in Japan, we don't know whether the customs and standards still practiced in Japan are overlooked in the West.
I hope to get a glimpse of these things through PHOTORIO.
