Good day everyone! I am a long time avid photographer. I may not be any good, but I do it with enthusiasm! I took a hiatus when my Pentax developed a black something or other in the prism, and I could no longer see clearly. Fast forward twenty or so years, and I was in a Radio Shack looking at used amateur radio equipment when I came across a Yashica D. I bought it, and the rest is history. I don't quite have GAS. I pick up a camera that I think I'd like to try. If it does well, and I like how the pictures turn out. I keep it. If not, I donate it to the local used goods store. I am still learning, so if I feel I have not given the camera a fair enough trial, I will run a few more rolls through it until I am sure one way or another. I've just gotten finished playing with a Kodak Brownie flash 620. I am currently playing with a Sears Ansco Marvel S-20 box camera. I am also getting a Kodak Retina 1a and a kodak vest pocket camera ready for use. Yes I have more than just Kodak. This is just the order they're in. As I got them. I am looking forward to learning more about photography, my cameras, my budding abilities to repair my cameras and learning all that I can to be a better photographer.
Alright, enough of my dimestore novel.
Thank you for letting me join your community.

Welcome to Photrio Eric.
There are some clues in your post that indicate you may be in the USA, but for all of us who aren't, any hints about where you are based?

Thank you everyone! I appreciate the welcome.

Matt,
sorry about that. Kingman, Kansas is in the U.S.. It's a small town about 30 miles East of Wichita.

How about replacing 9k8 with that information.

Wow. I seem to gotten started on the proverbial wrong foot. I had figured that my title "Salutations from..." would have been enough. I am also a pilot, and placing Kingman's icao in that slot was my casual "howdy" to any other pilots who may be here. My humble apologies for disturbing the peace and offending.

To my neighbor John; I am pleased to make your acquaintance. My roomate from College grew up in El Dorado. I haven't thought about him in a lot of years. We played a lot of Dungeons and Dragons back then. Ha!

Not in the least. And no disturbance has occurred, nor is anyone offended.
We just like to make sure that people understand how international this forum is. Along with how much that geographic context can add to understanding and the quality of some discussions.
And as for the IACO, If I were to use the same for (very near to) my location, I would include CZBB, and almost nobody would understand :smile:!
We look forward to your contributions, and hope you enjoy your time here.

Eric, sorry in advance for being pedantic, but Kingman is west of Wichita.:smile: (I grew up in Wichita)

Hhahaha!!! You are correct sir! I am dyslexic I guess. I should also have proofread a little better. Happy New Year everyone!
