Default Hello from Ireland

Hello from Ireland to everyone I took a complete break away from photography for around 8yrs after all my equipment was lost in a car fire (should have double checked my insurance I know i know haha) Anyways I never had the heart, desire or opportunity to replace or to get back into it after that incident but after a series of synchronistic events in the past month I am at the early stages of rebuilding my camera and darkroom equipment. I am here because I loved photography I guess I have never stopped loving photography and I am so happy to come across this wonderful site and from the posts that I have read wonderful people. I am at the moment concentrating more on getting my darkroom up and running I have just received 4000+ of my b+w negatives which I believed where lost these cover mainly street photography from 1987-97 when I lived in Belfast, N.Ireland. You will have gathered I can talk for Ireland but I am a good listener also :-) I look forward to learning from you all many thanks and my Love Sean

Welcome to FADU!
All I know is Connemara and the Burren, but that was a lovely stay then!

Welcome Sean. We now have another Irish friend to add to the Celtic contingent of which I like to regard myself as a member. Great news about your negatives.

Mike
