Hi all! Wilton, CA

[stillsilver]

Hello, My name is Mike and Wilton is south of Sacramento, CA. We are a rual community, so I have access to barns, farming equiptment, and livestock. The perfect things for for a black and white photographer such as myself. I shoot VERY little color. What I enjoy is the tones and texture that can be coaxed out of a negative. Being in a wet darkroom is much more enjoyable than sitting in front of a monitor doing my work. Although the computer chair is much more comfortable than my cramped dr, I would rather spend 2 hours in the dr doing the same thing I could do in 1 hour with a keyboard. I look forward to making many friends on this world-wide site.

Hi Mike, I agree totally with the attractions of the darkroom. Though I am lucky to have enough room to get an office chair in front of the enlarger!

Welcome to the group, Mike. You'll find that a lot of members/subscribers here, if not most, prefer B&W as well.

Snallan - When we buy a house I’ll be able to build a bigger dr in the garage.

23mjm - We were lucky. We only lost one tree and power for 7 hours.

I had a look in my atlas but couldn't find a country called 'CA', Is this the local spelling? Wherever you are, welcome, and good luck with the black and white photography.

I’m 20 miles south-east of Sacramento, California. Although seceding from the States and starting our own country seems like a good idea at times.
