Default Greetings from East Yorkshire

You haven't seen me around here before.
I started photography with a Zenit 11 back in 1983.
It's been a slippery slope from there!
My camera cupboard is about full now, the Zenit is long gone.
The denizens of that cupboard do get used.
The contents range from 35mm to lge format.

I do not have a darkroom like I used to. Actually it was the bathroom with a board over the bath and the window blacked out.
I was taught how to develope & print at a place called The Warren, in my home city of Hull.

I still soup my own B&W negative stock.
I have used Agfa, EFKE, ERA, Foma, Forte, Fuji, Ilford, Kodak, Lucky and Orwo.
All of these have (or had) their own individual qualities & I guess there's a proper place to discuss them further.

Welcome Neil from one East Yorkshireman to another

I learnt all my darkroom skills while at Hull College of Art down Anlaby Road.
