Greetings all,

I've been a member of APUG for a while, and even posted a few times, but I never posted an introduction of myself for everyone. I started photography in high school, with 35mm, and then studied it for a few semesters at college, where I was introduced to 120 and 127(!) formats, and later the magic of 4x5. After all those 12-hour days in the lab, I burned out pretty badly, and put down the cameras for 12 or 13 years. I've been getting back into it over the past couple years, and I'm once again having a great time!

I've about finished collecting all the bits and bobs for my dark-closet (no extra rooms, so a closet will have to do for now), and a little while ago I made my first print since 1990. Yahoo! It's all starting to come back now.

Will

Welcome,

There are a number of us, that like you, put our cameras down for a time only to revisit photography later. Good luck to you.

Glad to see you're back in the fold, Will! Come on in, the water's fine :)

There are a bunch of us Texas Apuggers and a number down in the Houston area.

Welcome back. A whole bunch has changed and a whole bunch is the same.

Welcome Will from Hawaii!!! I'm looking forward to seeing some of your work in the gallery section someday.

Welcome back Will.

Yeah, it's like falling off a bicycle ... ;)

Welcome, Will.

There's APUGGERS in Houston, DFW, Austin, SA et al. APUG is lousy with Texans! :)

Hope your closet is big enough!

Cheers

David

Hey Will,

I'm another Houstonite on the APUG roster. I do alt-process/ULF/Holga/35mm/MedFormat. I'm your basic process slut.

Clay,

Are you sure that you're from Houston? In my first 20 years, all spent in that area, I never heard anything other than "Houstonian". Maybe it's just a sign that I've been away too long. :)

Welcome Will from another (misplaced) Texan.

I'm actually a transplant. I just always thought that Houstonite sounded like kryptonite, and seemed appropriate for some reason. Maybe my geology background.

LOL! You had me going for about 5 minutes with that one, David. Thanks, I needed that! :)

And thanks to everybody for the warm welcome. It's good to be back into the analog fold.

Will

Hi Will!

Also in the Houston-ish area. And rather new to APUG--but totally addicted!
