Default Hello from Iowa USA

Hi I'm Mike from state of Iowa, US. I'm new to your forum but have had a darkroom all my life. Started at my Dad's side when I was 7 or 8, now I'm 59 so have been at it a while. I've accumulated quite a mess over the years. Primary interested in medium format work, but have 8x10 and 4x5 cameras. I love my darkroom can't think of anywhere else I would rather be to hobby about. I still print color, black and white, have almost every piece of old equipment imaginable , (all collected 2nd hand over time) I have digital cameras, but I much prefer the rich experience of analog work, with all it's cumbersome chemicals, formulas, gizmos and smells. I'm looking forward to learning and hope to contribute to the discussion.
Best to all, Mike

Welcome Mike. It sounds like you're comfortable doing photography with "experienced" equipment too.

Iowa city? Hmmm, I drive through your part of the world every year on the way to our annual In-Laws Liars Contest. Maybe I'll swing by...
