Exclamation Hi from the Isle of Wight

Hi there,just a few words to introduce myself !!

My name is William,retired now some 10years to the IOW and married.
My interest in photography goes back to 1947 when my father gave me his old Kodak Box Brownie (120) which I later upgraded to a folding one,(much easier to carry on a push bike), which I used all through my teens.
In my early teens with a good friend of mine we set up a darkroom in his parents house. Fun and experiments were many.

Since then 60 odd years have passed with a collection of 35mm film cameras but unfortunately no Darkroom.

Recently I have dusted off my Olympus OM2n acquired some BW film from a good friend, so with a lot faith in memories of ability, Ready to to have a go.

Memories being what they are I might have to rely on my future friends in the forum for advice !!

William.
