Greetings from Yorkshire
Dear forum members
Just a brief post to introduce myself and say hello. I have been printing my own images since 1983 and I graduated from the Royal Collage of Art in 1987. Most of my time has been spent in London except for the last 8 years which was spent shooting in South East Asia, I'm currently based in Yorkshire (where my darkroom is), though I am planning to return to SE Asia later this year to complete more long term projects. I now find myself straddling that hybrid world of analogue and digital, for many reasons and it's a sharp but interesting learning curve. Gear-wise I shoot with rangefinder cameras in both 35mm and 120. My 35mm choice is Leica MP/M6 and M8.2/M9, 120 is Fuji 690 and Plaubel Makina 670. My Enlargers are Devere 504 and Leitz Focomats 1c and 2c. I work in predominately monochrome and have favoured the process of lith printing since 1985. My films are deved in PMK Pyro and I'm a staunch fan of Gorden Hutchings (The Book of Pyro) and Fred Picker of the much fabled Zone V1 Studios. Examples of my work can be found in my signature below. For many years I participated in the Rangerfinder Forum and I look forward to participating in this forum. Best Simon Last edited by Larbalestier; 5th February 2010 at 10:01 AM. |

Hi Richard there are Jersey connections yes and the branch of our family originated there. We did live in St Helier 1964-1968 when I was very young.
