Default Hello from... London

Hi everyone!

I'm Marcus and I've moved from Germany to London in 2010. After doing a lot of slides & a bit of B&W work (though mostly by gut feeling rather than science) in the 90's, I stopped taking any photos in the early 2000's and only got back into photography about ten years ago when there began to be reasonably good DSLRs.

In the last five years this has become a bit more serious and finally last year, when a friend handed me his Hasselblad, I was infected with the film virus again. Since then, I got my own 503cw, a 500c/m for backup (or for shooting with friends), my fridge is now full of film and my bathroom full of chemicals. Also, I've been lucky enough to acquire an almost complete darkroom setup from a retired photographer, which I've been starting to fit into the guest toilet; there's barely any room to move, but hey, it's dark!

I'm trying to be a little less ad-hoc in my approach than I was 25 years ago and came across this forum while searching the web for proper paper washing technique. The Mysteries Of The Vortex articles were absolutely brilliant.

Anyway, looking forward to some good discussion! :-)
