Hello Fadu

[MartyNL]

Well, it's been quite a while since I was last 'active' on a forum (reads like a confession doesn't it!) and it all feels quite strange and new.

Most things Photographic have been mothballed for the last couple of years, since the birth of my wonderful son and I've contented myself with buying new gear. But now that things are becoming less intensive, fatherhood-wise, I truly want to go cold-turkey on the gear and get back to some serious picture-taking and being industrious in the darkroom.

I'm pretty much self-taught and use many formats but even so, I must admit, I'm feeling a little bit apprehensive having been out of the dark for so long.
I've cleared and cleaned the darkroom (no mean feat after 2 years I can tell you!) and prepared all the chemistry. And now, at long last, this weekend will mark the start of a new chapter in my photographic life, one in which I hope I'll be able to share with my little boy.

Fadu registration, like many things of late, has been on hold. At least until I felt I was in a position to participate. I'm especially looking forward to the print exchanges but also the general support, growing and I'm sure at times... failing.
