Default Hi from Hayle, Cornwall

I have been looking and learning here for a while now and finally decided to register as a member, I already know a couple of members - Paul and Bill. I have returned to the darkroom for my sanity!!! Having worked as a completely digital photographer for years, I found that I stopped enjoying the process as soon as the shutter fired, for me the creative part was complete - digital workflow made me a computer operator and not a photographer.
Epiphany moment...... my book shelf full with the works of the great photographers Bresson, Newton, Weston, Doisneau, etc. I use my 1967 camera for my OWN pleasure. I ENJOY the creative process, the craft and satisfaction of making a wet print.
My decision to move completely back to analogue was decided when a friend compared my digital and analogue portfolios to water! She said (and I agree) that "the digital are like tap water, but the wet prints are like spring water, both water but the darkroom stuff has the magic" a wise old bird??
So, here I am, keen to learn, and pass on my (very limited) knowledge when I can.
Andy.

Welcome Andy. Yet another member from Cornwall. It is very fertile ground down there. Like painters it must be the quality of the Cornish light that attracts and produces photographers
