Photography is a passion

[$modelman$]

A friend of mine from the local camera club (Merrimack Valley Camera Club), in North Andover Ma told me about this web site. I like it!!. I've been shooting since 1970. Have had many cameras. Now own Nikon F, F-2, F-3 and recently an F-4. Also shoot medium format with a Mamiya RB. Most of my shooting is in Black and white, I think I actually see in B&W, (ha ha). I have been doing my own developing for many years, have a pretty good darkroom in the basement. Tried the "D" word photography, it's ok, but nothing compares to a well processed, B&W. Browsing around this website is fantastic. The wealth of info is beyond belief. Already started a couple of strings. Seems like some great people here, plan to stay a while.

Open to any discusssions about photography.

And another welcome from a Bay Stater - Springfield. Keep an eye out for the Regional Focus Group. When I head out to the Quabbin, I usually let everyone know in case they want to meet me there.
