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.
