Hello,
I'm trying to introduce myself, I'm a photograher from Italy, my name is Stefano and I live in Tuscany, in Prato(the name of my town) a industrial town near to Florence(more a less 15 kilomteres).I've been taking picture since I was a teenager, my father thaught how to use a camera. I used to use a 35mm camera. Now I use two view cameras a 8x10 and 5x7, I use my 8x10 to print in Silver(Azo paper) and I use 5x7 for my PT/PD print .
I love taking landscape pictures, especially near Siena, but I take my pictures to all things that interested myself(my eyes and my heart).
I don't use digital cameras, and I hope won't use them in the future, Now I think, but it's only a my opinion, digital photography is an involution of photography and not a next step.

I'm very happy to join with all you.
( and sorry for my english mistake,I hope to improve it)

Best

Stefano

Hi Stefano. Welcome from Hawaii!!! You will find a lot of people who feel the same way you do on this forum. We have a few more members in Italy as well.

Welcome welcome! Some day I hope to visit Italy. My people are from Como. But I've never seen there. Rome once for only 1 day. Do you have a web page with some of your work? Jim Galli

Welcome aboard Stefano. Hope you post some of your work n the Gallery. Would love to see it. I spent some time in Italy years ago. Kick myself for not taking pictures when I was there.

Greeting Stefano.
My name is Robert8x10. I guess we're related in a large format sort of way. You'll love Apug. It's been a great source of information to me.
taly sounds like a great warm place right now compare to my cold, wet Oregonian ho,e.
Anyways, welcome.

Welcome Stefano,

You are fortunate to be in one of the most beautiful places in the world. I spent a couple of months in Florence during college and it is one of the highlights of my life. APUG is a wonderful place to share knowlege and your passion for photography. Enjoy!

Paul.
