Default Hi from Northants

Hi all,

I've lurked for a while and thought I'd pop in here to introduce myself. My name's kevs and I'm a photographer. Some of you will know me as 'kevs' on APUG. I'm based in Northamptonshire, have around 25 years of photography experience as an amateur and student and I studied at Plymouth College of Art and Design, where I specialised in black and white landscapes and graduated with a B.A. (Hons.) in Photomedia in 2007. For my dissertation I researched the reasons for the decline and the recent-ish revival in the archaic processes. I still regard myself as an amateur photographer - although hopefully a better and more accomplished one!

Much of my work is landscape and still life but I also love doing informal portraiture. Film is my chosen medium - I use medium format and occasionally 35mm and I use both monochrome and colour media for different reasons and purposes. I have my own darkroom with an L.E.D.-adapted enlarger. Sadly I've not done much photography this year for various reasons and I'm hoping that this forum will encourage me to use it more often!

Cheers,
kevs.

Hi Kevs and welcome. Good to see that the Northants FADUer number has just gone up by one.

I think I recall seeing a very good print of yours of Harlestone. I know we are in fact well spread out on FADU but I always regard it as being like a good local club in atmosphere and friendliness

Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your welcome; it's good to know that other locals are out there using film. Greetings to you over there in Daventry.

Thanks for the compliment but I don't think I've ever photographed at Harlestone. :-) I'm in Northampton, btw, but nobody's perfect. :-D

Thanks again,
kevs.
