Honey, I'm home.........

[Christopher Walrath]

Yeah, here goes the neighborhood.

Yeah, it's been a while. About two years. But I am finally starting to get back to some of the things I used to love before my wife died in 2011. And film is one. Gonna do it right this time. I had sold all my camera gear in late 2011. Fortunately the darkroom gear did not sell. So all I need is a good duster. And, since I always hated spooling 35mm, I'm going big this time around. 4x5 or bigger. Screw the hard work.

So, yeah, it's me. Didn't want to hijack other threads with reunions. So, feel free to welcome me back.





Hey, where did everybody go.....

 

[johnnywalker]

Allow me to be the first! Welcome back!

 

[Richard S. (rich815)]

Welcome back!

 

[Christopher Walrath]

Johnny. See, Johnny likes me.

>sniffle<

 

[winger]

Welcome back! Nice to see you - I've thought about you and wondered how you were.

 

[markbarendt]

Welcome back Chris.

 

[Christopher Walrath]

Definitely doing much better than my old disarrayed self. Like I said, just finally getting my own self back in order. I got everyone else through Faith dying. Now it is finally time for me. And I am Jonesing for a 4x5 right about now. All in good time, though. APUG is always the first and most important step.

 

[Christopher Walrath]

Thanks Mark, Rich.

 

[Ken Nadvornick]

Chris, good to see you again! The Blind Print Exchange misses you. Get a camera going and sign up soon!

[eddie]

Glad to hear things are looking up, Chris. Welcome home.

 

[Christopher Walrath]

Hope to have a 4x5 up and running by the new year and then I just might make someone suffer to my own twisted view of my nick of the woods.

 

[DWThomas]

Wondered what you were up to; welcome back!

 

[Christopher Walrath]

Eddie, it is certainly good to be here and home. Yeah, I went upstairs and checked to make sure all my darkroom gear was up there. Kind of like patting yourself down after a close call to make sure everything is still there.

 

[Christopher Walrath]

Dave. Good to see the old guard is still alive and kicking.

 

[Chris Lange]

You've been missed Chris...glad to have you back!

 

[BrianShaw]

Yup, there go d'hood. But who cares... it is nice to have you back.

 

[Christopher Walrath]

Thanks, Brian and Chris. Definitely good to be back.

 

[Thomas Bertilsson]

Welcome back, Chris! Good to see you here again.

 

[Christopher Walrath]

Thank you, Thomas. Good to see you still here as well. Look forward to catching up. And getting more updates on those mouth watering meals. I fondly remember your account of that trout.

 

[Thomas Bertilsson]

Thank you, Thomas. Good to see you still here as well. Look forward to catching up. And getting more updates on those mouth watering meals. I fondly remember your account of that trout.

I'm impressed with your recollection! Magic trout.

 

[Photo Engineer]

Welcome back Chris. Best wishes.

Ron

 

[Christopher Walrath]

Ron. The APUG Guru of Gobble-dy-gook. Truly good to see you again.

And, Thomas, that trout must have made an impression, huh.

 

[MattKing]

Glad to see you back Chris.

 

[Christopher Walrath]

Sorry, I would have responded sooner, Matt. Trying to catch up on these 77,172 New Posts. Man, you guys have been busy. I was just going through the old postcards and I remember looking at your walkway in the woods. I miss it but I'm getting it back.

 

[Kevin Caulfield]

Welcome back, Chris. Wondered how you were going.

And your dinner is still warm in the oven.
