..sort of..

Hi all - emil schildt (gandolfi) speaking.
I am back - decided to make a last go of it - it has been a while, and life has been tough - still is...
I' got fired - kicked out of an apartment - lost all my belongings (sold off without me knowing it) - all my photos - cameras - lenses - sculptures - paintings - furniture - even my clothes are gone...

I have not taken/made an image in three years - not been in a darkroom..
Living at my twin's house, which has been a blessing in disguise for him, as he (on top of all the luck we have had) has been diagnosed with Dementia...

But in here I have had some really kind "friends", and I can maybe still help others with questions on photo related stuff..

looking forward to this again..

Welcome back Emil - you have definitely been missed.
Hope your luck changes for the better.
For those who haven't had the good fortune of seeing Emil's work, here is the link for what has been uploaded here at Photrio: https://www.photrio.com/forum/media/users/gandolfi.4853/
I'll alert Sean, so he can re-attach you to your existing account. If you need help reaching him, post here, and we can facilitate.

Welcome back! I imagine you can walk in the woods without wondering how you’re ever going to clean up the garage.

Emil! I too recently returned after a long absence and I have been watching for you. You are forever etched in my mind as the man who killed his darlings — I loved that series on so many levels. Go make stuff. It’s medicinal.

Good to have you (back) here, and I hope brighter days are on the horizon. Life can throw some nasty curveballs once in a while...

I fear no more photography for me. My entire life is now to try to take care of my twin.

Another re-joiner here after a while away. Good to see some of the regular 'faces' again. Sending best wishes to you and your twin.
