Default Hello from the West Midlands

Hi everyone,

Only just joined, in fact I wasn't aware this group existed until I was browsing the AG Photographic web-site. I have been a member of APUG for a good few years and communities such as these a great and very supportive. Having a more local group is just great and I look forward to taking an active part.

So a little about myself, I have been photographing seriously for about 7 years or so, mainly shoot medium format and large format (both 5" x 4" and 10" x 8"), black and white and have an increasing passion for historical processes like salt printing, cyanotype and just teaching myself platinum and palladium (which is progressing slowly). I'm also lucky to have my own darkroom.

I teach photography at two West Midland Colleges and in doing so try to promote the importance of learning darkroom skills and the proper understanding of photography basics....at times a bit of an uphill struggle.

Well, I think that's me in a nutshell.

Cheers

John

Hi John a and welcome from just a little further South East - stone's throw almost : It was the local and smaller size element to FADU that attracted me. More like a large club than an impersonal forum.

I haven't been disappointed and I don't think you will be either

Mike

Hi John and welcome to FADU. Good to hear you are teaching your students traditional photography when you are able to.
