Default Hello from Liverpool UK

Hi everyone
I joined here today because i prefer to use film and probably will NEVER
go digital
My name is paddy and i live in Liverpool UK

I have an array of 35mm and medium format cameras and have my own
darkroom in a 10x8 converted shed in the back yard and am starting to
get back into the darkroom after a period of lazyness for the last few
years (as well as having a family and job that takes up my time)
I am also going to start mixing my own chemicals like ansco 130 and the original 1927 d76 formula, i have just mixed up a gallon of panthermic 777 i bought from frugal last year and developed a reel of tri x in it and it came out ok
So i look forward to hearing from you all
many thanks
paddy

Thanks for the welcome guys
It is good to see like minded people instead of everyone saying "why dont you go digital like everyone else" and as long as people buy film, paper and chemicals etc then they will allways be made
I still have a record player and listen to records, didnt they try to kill
off vinyl years ago, now turntables are made better than they have
ever been.
Sorry to go on, but i think you see were i am coming from.

Welcome from Down Under, Paddy.

Are the Liver birds still active?
