Thumbs up Passion from Montreal

Hi everybody

I start in photography world in the mid's 80 with darkroom before camera. I did some X-Rays on rocks for my M.Sc. project and I learned to devellop and print at this moment. Later, as a geologist, a camera was a must to illustrate what we found. So, I get a Nikon FG with a 50mm. After many photographics mistakes, I fall in love with a girl and we decide to do a trip and I began to read some Cokin's filters informations.
I was surprised how creative was photography...I was hooked.

Later, I bought a lot of Nikon's gear, did a amateur course and bought a Mamiya RB 67...RZ....Mamiya 7II. I sold almost everything since and put my money on Leica stuff, Pentax 6x7, a Sinar F1 and more recently a Seneca 11x14.

I have my darkroom at home (Black and White only).

I'm not a professionnal. I do photo when I want and what I want.
I'm happy with this. I'm not interessed by digital. I prefer to stay with film.

For now, I experiment 11x14 X-Ray films and Positive Paper.

Excuse my poor English writing. I'm a French Canadian people.

Hi Norm and welcome to / bienvenu a FADU. Vous etes un quebequois peut-etre?

My keyboard doesn't have any accents keys but I thought I would just prove that my French is a lot worse than your English which is fine.

Mike
