Default Hello from Dorset

Hello there, I am a film only photographer from the north Dorset. I have been an occasional contributor on APUG where I appear with a similar but slightly shorter name and elsewhere around the net.

Camera wise I have become rather taken by the Bronica SQ-B, 50 and 80 lenses I bought a little while ago, prior to that I have been using Leica rangefinders a system I have to thank for bringing me to film in the first place.

For my sins I am super lazy when it comes to doing everything post pressing the shutter button and sadly don't do enough of the front end bit either. I guess I am not alone with the chores of life and other distractions getting in the way.

In terms of what sort of photography I like to do well in some regards I am still exploring that but my flickr stream I think pretty well represents what I like:

The latest stuff on there is over 18 months old, I did say I was lazy, lol.
Cheers
Neil

Welcome Neil. Don't beat yourself up too much. There is a lot to do in this world outside of photography before you go

I note you are a film only photographer from North Dorset. The time to get worried, I feel, is when you are the only film photographer from North Dorset

Cheers guys. I found that I share my little town with another APUGer so there are at least 2 film photographers in north Dorset .

I am becoming much more disciplined to do something photography related every day, I am hoping this way that I can get through most of my backlog over the next 3 to 4 months. Been doing a lot of scanning of my Mums kodachromes from the 60s recently which I have loved seeing her looking so young, and my grandparents kept alive on the film.

We moved into a new house last year so once we have had all the final fixes to the walls and ceilings done I will be looking to hang some prints on those walls.
