Default Hello from Co Waterford, Ireland.

Hi all,

Only found out about your forum recently and it seems like a great place to be a part of so I joined up.

When I was about 8 years old I had a book from the whizzkid series which showed how to make a contact print using nothing more than a bulb. This fascinated me and stuck in my mind until when at 15 I got my first SLR and then at 16 one of those Paterson darkrooms in a box.
I have been printing in one way or another on and off ever since although the last 6 or so years have been very dry due to work and the use of a digital SLR. But now I am back

Only film and messy chemicals really get my juices flowing so I am building my new darkroom as I type and I can't wait to start printing again.

I look forward to using the forum and the help you can all no doubt offer.

Paulie.

Hi Paulie from another who went digital and then realised film was why I loved photography so much, and I too rebuilt my darkroom last year.

Welcome to FADU
