Kind regards and best wishes to you and your family Nicole, I'm a big admirer of your work and I'm very glad to hear that you're O.K and still shooting .

 

[David Brown]

Good to hear from you. Glad that things are OK. I hope I wasn't speaking out of turn above.

Hi there! Nice to "see familiar faces" again. David, not at all, no worries. Great to see you're still here.
I might have to crack open a box of film this weekend after seeing the old gang again.
I often think of our old friend Lee Carmichael.
Is Les still around?

Hello to my dear old friends! Kevin texted me today, thank you Kev. We (family) are all well, the photography mojo just died. I'm not good at self promotion, stay away from competitions and prefer the quiet life. I've given away most of my darkroom gear to students and fellow artists, although kept my trusty dev gear and favourite cameras. Always been a "minimalist", clutter zaps energy. Though, Thomas, I'm still hunting for my 8x10" portrait LF camera, which may just spark the fire in the belly again one day. Suzanne, our road trip will definitely happen one day. Won't miss that one!! it's great to see you all again. Maybe I'll hang around a bit and see what you've all been up to in the past couple of years. Mono, my old friend, good to see you again. Thomas, I've switched to Cab Merlot in winter & SB spritzers in summer. Cheers everyone.

So nice to "hear" your voice, Nicole! We've missed you. I have an 8x10 set up... just need the right car. Maybe something like this... http://www.59caddy.org/1959cadillac2.php I'm sure you'd get your photo mojo back on the open road! Cheers my good friend!!

Nicole, sorry to say that Lee passed way in 2012, but you may already know that.

Les, is fully retired. As such, he is no longer active on the internet, but I do know that he reads FADU periodically. I heard from him at Christmas, but only by voice mail - I missed the call. He's playing music again, and doing what a retired man does.

Glad to hear that you're doing well, Nicole! I also miss your photographs and presence here.

+ another! I'm glad to hear you're well.

Nicole,

I´m so glad you´re fine!!!
I missed you and your great images!
That was the reason for starting this thread.

Please do come back!!!

Good to hear from you Nicole - and Cheryl too!

NicNic! Without you the chatroom has never been the same. I miss those days with you and Lee (RIP).

... like every night was her birthday !

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

Hey, good to see some of the old crowd around!

 

[rorye]

Oh no, did Lee pass?
Damn.

 

[Ian Grant]

Get that 10x8 Nicole, we need you making wonderful images and your thoughtful input

If you weren't so far away I'd loan you one (a 10x8 camera).

Common Nic, break out some of that gear and crank up that vision thing again, your insights' have been missed. Forget about making a living with a camera and show how you see. I remember some impressive points of view.

 

[papagene]

Nicooooooooole! Good to hear from you again. Really miss the old days in the Chatroom... but I (and we all) miss your images.
Take care and hope to hear from you again.

 

[TheFlyingCamera]

Oh no, did Lee pass?
Damn.

Rorye- it's been at least a year now. He had been in ill health for a while, and it finally caught up with him.

 

[johnnywalker]

Hi Nicole, glad to hear you're alive and well, but you are missed here!

 

[Black Dog]

You are indeed!

 

[Nicole]

It's so nice to see each and every one of you again, such fond memories... has it really been that long??!!

It's been a long time since we've talked.
Family first, photography second, job... anywhere else you want to put it on the list.

Hi all, who is still around ? For those that noticed my domain/website nicoleboenigmcgrade.com was taken by (who knows?)... but you can find me on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/nicoleboenigmcgrade for now
Yep, still shooting film and still no digital camera (other than the phone) - and after all these years I am still looking for an 8x10 camera with a fitting portrait lens for my work.
Crazy times out there. Hope you are all well and out there burning through loads of film!
Cheers, Nicole

Hey Thomas, I've switched from Merlot to Cab Sav

 

[Konical]

Good Morning, Nicole,
Only seven years since you've been here! Glad to see that you're still active. Hope you find the perfect 8 × 10 camera. Too bad that film prices have become so much higher in recent years.
