Default I'm all for trying new things

Hi Victor

Thanks for your reply from California; any snow at Lake Louise? Tonnes of snow here in Europe but I'm broke and can't get over to the continent. Love to get over to California for some skiing and San Fran time one day. I'm all for trying new things with film and dev combos, and also trying new formats other than 35mm but I need to go back to basics first and concentrate on the fundamentals and learn how to use my existing equipment without getting distracted by all the bells and whistles. I'm starting to get the results I anticipated which is a good sign of the control I'm beginning to get with my camera. It's a new me for 2009. Cyanotype is something new to me which I'm just getting into.

Andrew they have withdrawn the Photography based courses so you have no choice but to do digita. Its about time they had a film module so you can mix and match so you get a holistic view of photography.
