Hi there....

[dolande]

Hi all,

After several years as an amateur photographer I decided to joint this great virtual community. This is not an insolated invent since I will start a beginners darkroom workshop over the weekend. I’ve developed my film several times over the years but never in a consistent way so every time was kind of my first time. But I’ve never had the joy of creating a print so I’m looking forward to that. I have a small amount of rolls (244 color plus 90 b&w according to my wife’s accounting that I hope I’ll be sharing with you guys soon ( well this won’t take long if I show you only the good ones)

I started out with a Konica TC and after several years moved up to a Canon Elan II. Now I shoot with an eos-3 and eos-630 and I just bought an used maxxum 7 with 50mm lens just for the heck of it. I have no favorite subject, but I find myself shooting mostly street scenes. I have to say that the last 10 month I’ve being shooting my 10 months daughter A LOT.

See you guys later

Rafael

BTW I’m from venezuela living in washington DC.

Hey, Rafael
Great to have you join us. This is a good place to learn more about photography (and a 1000 other things!). I feel the best place to invest your photographic time is in pictures of that 10 month old daughter. none of your pictures will be less than.... Priceless!

Welcome Rafael. I did the same thing with the brith of my first daughter and recently added a 35mm to my collection again as I found I had very few photos of my second daughter. They're priceless memories that you'll never capture again.
