Hi from Tristan

Hi everyone,

Its really exciting to have discovered this site.
Briefly looking around it, I've seen plenty to enjoy.

I'm a photographer in Jo'burg, South Africa, and have been operating full time since the beginning of 2003. I studied photography at Pretoria Technikon and asssisted several commercial photographers in Johannesburg.

I use my Hasselblad and Linhof Technika mostly, both for work and play.
With your help, I'll be using them for a long time still!
I'm afraid I just don't get a kick out of the whole digital thing.
I like to work with cameras, film and light. Not computers!

Cheers, Tristan McLaren

Hello Tristan!
Welcome to the APUG community. You have indeed found a site that still values the traditional photographic processes. We are, generally, pretty good folks!

Cheers,
Geary

Hi Tristan, by any chance were you named after a crusty old British sailor, last name of Jones? He was one of my favorite writers about sailing, and a remarkable man. Welcome aboard. tim

Welcome. Looking forward to seeing your work in the galleries.

Welcome to the group hope you find it as useful as I have.

Hi Tristan,
Welcome to the group.

Welcome Tristan!! Looking forward to seeing some of your photos from South Africa.

Welcome, Tristan!
As you have probably discovered by now, this is a very friendly and open place to be! I look forward to seeing photos of your part of the world, so please use the computer just a wee bit to get them scanned in for us! haha
