Hi, my name is Ian. I was given my first camera at the age of 8 - a 110 which my dad found left behind on a beach. Progressed through a couple of 35mm cameras until going digital in 2002. I bought a Nikon D70 last summer, and added another 4 lenses to go with the kit then realised I could pick up MF Nikon bodies for very little money and they would work with the three non-DX lenses. I bought an EM with a dodgy meter connection, then an FE. The DSLR is great for many things and I have no regrets about buying it, but when I want to just go out and take my time creating pictures I find myself reaching for one of the film cameras.
I have a stack of rolls of FP4 in my fridge, which I am developing myself (something I did for the first time a couple of weeks ago). Next purchase will be an enlarger. One of the first things that struck me about my flat is the large, windowless bathroom. That would make a great darkroom I thought. Finally, 6 and a half years later, it might actually happen!
