I've been watching this site with interest for some time and now that the permanent darkroom is about done, I thought it was time to join in.
I started with photography at age 15 ( more years ago than I care to count), learning with a 4 x 5 Pacemaker Crown Graphic - still have it and it still works! These days I shoot mostly medium format - B&W and color -(Mamiya RZ and 645) and some 35mm (Canon). Now that I will have regular darkroom facilities I would like to do some more 4 x 5.
I have been without a regular darkroom set up for waaaaaaay too long, but a new house and basement construction provided the opportunity, so here I am, celebrating my Return to the Dark Side! :)

Welcome Bob from Hawaii. I'm glad you decided to join us; you will enjoy being here, and you will enjoy all the fun we have. BTW, if you have time, join us for the APUG conference in Toronto, May 4-7.

Welcome Bob. Where in S. Michigan are you? There are several of us around here. Check out the thread in the regional Great Lakes forum. Getting a gathering together for June if interested...

Welcome from the Cleveland/Akron area or Huron when it is a little warmer and the boat goes in the water. Let us all know how we can help you enjoy the return.

Welcome in, Bob. Good to have another old hand on line - and back in the darkroom.

Welcome Bob. My dad was from Adrian and I've spent a lot of time kicking the Maple leaves (No, not the hockey team) up and down the streets.

Thanks to all for your warm welcome. I call Sterling Heights home these days.
So close to Ferndale and Derborn (except you can't get there from here due to road work).....
Buckeyes???? Oh yeah - that's that other place south of the border.
I wouldn't suggest shouting that too close to Ann Arbor. :)
