Default Hello form Poland

Hello

My name is Michal Makowski and I’m living in southwestern part of Poland in the Karkonosze Mt. I have forestry background and since twelve years I’m working in Karkonosze Mt. National Park. Previously as a forestry officer and now I’m responsible for tourist management division.
Photography joined my life almost 17 years ago, at the beginning that was only “nature-wildlife-SLR-snapshot-photography” At the University I had honor to be President of University Wildlife Photographers Association… Then I slowed down Since six years I’m using LF camera, and since last year I’m 90% black and white. And now I’m on the start line of my run to the perfect print! I know that will be long run but I hope that you guys help me sometimes.
Last year I visited US and I saw prints made by masters: AA, Weston, Caponigro and others and I was truly amazed, but after some searching I already know that UK is the homeland of many master printers so this forum is the right place to be!
Currently I’m starting building my own darkroom, I have almost mint L1200 with vls501 head, Jobo cpp-2 with 3010 expert drum, wallner MC 505 darkroom timer, dunco easel and other small equipment. I’m still searching for my print washer

Regards from verrrrrry snowy Karkonosze Mt. National Park

Michal

Ps. You are always invited to my Park! I will give you free tour

Hi Michał. Hello from Toronto. Great that you joined FADU. This guys here are amazing with their acquaintance with photography, so this is a right place to be. And Karkonosze are a great photographic territory, especially when full of snow.
Pozdrowienia.
