New APUG'er in Austin!

[mickstephen]

Greetings from Deep in the Heart of Texas! I came across APUG doing some research on Hasselblad/medium format. I've been working in film and video for almost 20 years, mainly as a DP and director. Now I'm getting back to my film roots after my not-so-passionate relationship with digital went fully cold.

My only camera right now is a Leica M4 with a 50mm Dual-Range Summicron. My Hasselblad 500CM should be here later this week, thanks to the APUG classifieds. I can't wait to get out and shoot some square-format goodness.

I'll sign off on this welcome thread with an image from a recent trip to Chicago, the wife's hometown. This is a snap I took of the Cabaret Metro with my Leica M4 and Summicron DR 50mm on Portra 160.

Cheers!

Welcome to APUG

Since you are using Hasselblads, you must be a very wise person.

My wife (and most everyone I know) would beg to differ on the subject of my wisdom.

We are good at enabling here. Bring your addictions.

Besides you have worked all your adult life to buy things that others wanted or thought they needed. So now is your time to buy something you want just for yourself.

Thanks for the warm welcome, APUG! I just got my 500CM via FedEx today, and can’t wait to go out and shoot some test rolls.

Below is another shot from my recent Chicago trip. Cheers!
