Umm, my name is Keith...

[keithwms]

...and I use analogue film. Even worse, I openly engage in pinhole and paper negative-making and polaroid transfers and various other decadent practices. I got a tip that this is a support group for persons with these issues.

Look, Keith, sorry to disappoint but if you are looking for a cure from your afflictions this just isn't the right place.

If however there's the need to mix with pushers, users, manufacturers, just-observers, wannabees, really-are's, going-to-be-one-day'ers, talkers, just-thinkers of anything analogue in photography then let me be the first to welcome you.

Given the list above, you're in trouble . You'll fit right in.

Best, John.

 

[blaze-on]

Well the first step is admitting your vice.

Welcome, I too am an analogaholic...

Welcome, Keith... Remember, it's one day at a time in here.

Welcome from Nevada....

Welcome from the south west coast.

 

[Chazzy]

Hi Keith! Always glad to meet a fellow-sufferer. I've been meaning to try paper negatives myself. Before I get some silver nitrate and the rest of it, I thought I might even try just regular single weight enlarging paper.

 

[Black Dog]

Just one roll/sheet at a time for me. I must be strong..............

 

[Roger Hicks]

We're all enablers. Welcome.

Worse still, we're codependent.

Welcome.

A fine place to visit, to enjoy your afflictions, and be tempted into others! - Welcome

 

[Tony Egan]

Welcome from Sydney, Australia. Yes, a lot of shooting up done by us all - but usually only at tall buildings with front rise and a Scheimpflug chalk sketch on the pavement.

 

[MurrayMinchin]

Welcome from the south west coast.

...and the from the north coast of BC as well!

[pentaxuser]

If you think your condition's bad wait till you see some of our regular substance abusers. There's a full range here. Rodinal, pyro etc users. Even alcohol when things are really bad.

Welcome. I am sure you'll enjoy the company.

WELCOME to APUG!!! I am relatively new here myself and reveling in the freakiness.

If you are like me, you might just find yourself shooting a LOT more film than pre-APUG! A bit shocking as my fridge "vegetable crisper" is now a "film crisper." Apparenlty this affliction is common and is nothing to worry about (the man in the white coat says).

 

[digiconvert]

Welcome from the UK Midlands. I joined 12 months ago, at the time I was using a nice old EOS. I now have 2 MF cameras (one a Lubitel !), a fridge in what I used to call my study - now darkroom/study, I am trying different developers for film and paper, my negatives need to be more CONTRASTY and I have had to put e-bay on my restricted sites list to avoid marital strife.

I'm not going to get a 5x4 though, well not yet

Cheers CJB

 

[Dave Miller]

Hi Keith; welcome from Middle England.

 

[Ole]

I'm not going to get a 5x4 though, well not yet

I remember saying something like that a few years ago - must have been just before I bought my first 5x7"!

 

[keithwms]

Okay, let me be frank, some of you need help!

But my therapist says that I need help too, so I expect to form some good relationships here.

The trajectory of my photo hobby so far:

P&S digital -> 35mm film -> APS digital -> sold digital -> 645 -> 6x6cm -> 6x7 -> 6x8 -> 6x9 -> 4x5" -> 5x7" -> 8x10" -> thinking about painting one of my walls with liquid emulsion, exposing it and hosing it down with developer....

:rolleyes:

That sounds like a blast!!!!!!!!

Welcome to APUG!

:rolleyes:

Ah yes, not that size matters :rolleyes: but this seems like a common progression. Except for the last proposal.

That's one way, or if there were any concerns about the practical considerations it might be worth trying Abelardo Morell style ->
