Hello, APUG! Im so happy to see this site. Everyone here seems to be speaking my language not a comment yet about shooting in RAW amazing!
Although Ive been shooting seriously for some years now, I still consider myself a beginner, and really expect to be a lifelong student of the craft. I love shooting B&W film most, including infrared, and just set up a darkroom at home a little over a year ago. I love to develop film, and printmaking is just sheer joy.
My main camera is a Pentax MZ-S, and a Pentax ME for HIE. I also shoot a Holga, an Agfa Super Isolette folder, and a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super BC. I enjoy collecting and shooting with older cameras - sort of a linked obsession!
My main interest is in alternative photographic processes. Right now, I do Polaroid image transfers/emulsion lifts, using a Daylab 35 +. Ive been experimenting with bromoil printmaking for the last year. I love the look of lith prints, so thats probably next on the list ..along with more attention to toning than just the basic two-bath sepia approach I was taught. I also enjoy hand coloring and have taught a workshop on the traditional approach.
So many processes .so little time.
I expect to learn a lot here the site looks great. Thanks for plowing through all this!
