Default Hello Fellow Travellers

Hi,

This seems like a really active and vigorous forum, yet also friendly; I feel lucky to have found you all at the point I return to "active" photography.

While not creating my own images I have been enjoying and appreciating other's work but now I have the opportunity to work regularly and have a project to work at! Mitch Epstein, Bresson, Penn, Adams and many, many other relatively unknown workers found online.

My home life is settled and (just about ) successful enough for me to create a small display of beauty in my hallway as part of a "re-commitment" to the Art. I am able to display about 10 prints and aim to have the first batch ready for Christmas 2018. Some "slots" have already been taken by those online geniuses so I may end up being more of a curator than a photographer here!

Setting up my own darkroom and printing my best work (so far) while creating new images and working "over full-time" is NOT optimum to achieve my "little gallery" but with your help I hope to have a decent "preview" in 12 Months (can you actually have a "preview" when the public will never get a "view"??).

Anyhow, I hope my "Journeyman" questions to come won't have been asked too often before and will add to the "collective wisdom" of the site for everyone.

Robert, South Yorkshire, England

Welcome aboard Robert!

Seems like your project is a good motivational tool. You can replace those obsure photogs work with your own as the year progresses...

Have fun, Bob.

Welcome to FADU, Robert!

Simply join the monthly print exchange and you will have the dozen images by the end of the year. :-)
