Hey, another young one on board

[Tomchy]

Hey guys, I joined this board after being frustrated with all the other photography forums I've been on that offer little to no constructive criticism.
I just turned 18 years old and am currently living in St. Louis, Missouri.
My weapon of choice is a Bronica SQ-A for the most part (though I do shoot digital sometimes with my d70s). I'm looking forward to learning tons here!

Here's a link to my flickr if anyone wants to check it out.

Hi there from a middle aged (but still immature) 'old fart' in training on BC's north coast

Aw jeez, having had some Yankee Bean Soup with lunch today - I can definitely say that I'm NOT an old fart! I'm just an old farter making new gas!

Welcome to APUG - I think.

Hey, could someone please open the window - it's getting kind of "nasty" in here!

how about welcome from an old crap head?

Welcome from a fellow youngin'! Atleast I like to think I'm still young. 25 is not too bad is it? I used to use a Bronica SQ-A, love the square format. Now I'm armed with a Mamiya 6. Anyway, yes, this is a great site! Anything you want to know can be answered by all the kind and very knowledgable fellow photographers here. Looking forward to seeing your work!

Welcome from a photographer in your neck of the woods-or caves. Nice work on your Flickr account.
Few people realize that the best places in Missouri are underground.

Hey, Tomchy. Welcome to the group from Delaware. I shoot MF as well and you will get more constructive criticism here than you bargained for. Be ready to grow from it. Welcome aboard, matey.

 

[Tomchy]

Thanks for the warm (and rancid) welcome everyone!

Rusty, good to see some fellow St. Louians (?) on here. I'm thinking of doing a whole series on the caves that can be found all around Missouri. Just need to find them!

Hi Tomchy, another welcome from the UK.

 

[pentaxuser]

Welcome from the U.K. Occasionally we can be a bit curmudgeonly but in an endearing and well meaning sort of way. Not me of course. I am always sweetness and light

I shot lots of those "one finger" salutes in my younger days. Does that make me a "digital pioneer"?

Years later, I met a high school friend, of whom I had taken a close up shot of his extended middle finger. The lighting was dramatic, the neg came out perfect and I made a beautiful print. My friend said later that he thought that the print looked like it had been made by Ansel Adams.
