Hello from Philly
« on: December 06, 2010, 11:54:56 AM »
Hi all,

I come by way of the Filmwasters podcast, which I have enjoyed quite a lot.  The quality of images on this site are fantastic!  Hopefully I'll be able to add something interesting from time to time.

My photographic time is split between capturing children (my own, neighbors, etc) and basic hey-look-at-that style street photography in the Philadelphia area.  I'm trying to improve both  :)

I typically shoot black and white film using a Zeiss Ikon with the f/2 Biogon and f/1.5 Sonnar.  I develop the film in my non-darkroom basement; January will hopefully see my first wet printing efforts, assuming I have the time to make the non-dark dark.

Thanks for this site and cheers,

Jeff

Hi there, Jeff and welcome to the FW forum. Glad you have enjoyed the podcasts (we must do another one soon....but then I say that all the time!!) and that you've have decided to join in here. I look forward to seeing many more of your photos in the future.

Welcome Jeff!  I'm right there with you with a 'non darkroom basement'.  Best of luck making it dark!
