Hi,
I joined this forum years ago but somehow I forgot about it after my then "new" computer broke and I lost all my bookmarks and saved information.
I'm a beginner amateur to film photography even after being in and out of it since adolescence.Pretty much I can sum it up in some theory information,but little practice.
The little practice I have had been with Nikon SLR,but now I want to enter and discover the world of 35mm rangefinder photography.
I hail from Miami,FL,USA.Born right here,but raised in Cuba,odd and long story.
I hope I will learn a lot in this already well known community.
Thanks to all,
Robert

Welcome Home Robert,
Nice to have you back after all these years !
Get out the notebook, and sharpen some pencils.
You will definitely be learning a lot from your APUG professors.
The APUG Subscription is a great investment.
Do you smoke the occasional cigar ?

As best as I can tell you were the 306th person to become a member of APUG - this may set a record for longest time between joining and introduction!

Hi Robert,
You are my New Favorite APUG Buddy ! for the moment {LOL}
You'll have to set up an APUG Cigar Smokers Group, or ...
Maybe CCUG : Cuban Cigar Users Group ???
I was always Anti-Tobacco, until I got a Cuban cigar in 1994.
And it was an amazing experience !
I always thought the Cuban cigar was just a lot of smoke.
But, I was converted ! I haven't smoked a Cuban since 2007.
I'll be going to Bermuda in a few weeks, so I'll have to make up for it then.
Enough about smoking, I'll have to break your introduction record now.
I joined last August, but never introduced myself.
I'll introduce myself in 2019.

Thanks Ron.Nice idea about the Cuban cigars smokers.I used to smoke cigarettes too,but I quit them 2 years ago.Now is only the occasional ritual experience of smoking a nice cigar.Have you tried dipping the mouth tip of the cigar in a good brandy before lighting it?You will remember me after doing so.And never use lighters,use matchsticks ;).
Thanks Bill,certainly I have a lot to learn.I'm an beginner almost,an amateur,and completely newbie to B&W street photography with 35mm rangefinders.
