Default Greetings from SW Scotland

Hi everybody,

I am a kiwi living near Dumfries, been here for the last 7 years - lovely part of the country it is! I currently shoot using a Bronica and Holga - I have previously shot 35mm and 4x5 but have finally settled on 6x6 as my 'ideal' format.

I process all my film using a Jobo processor but (whispering) scan and print digitally - I hope that doesn't put me in anybody's bad books!

I am in the process of building my website - pretty much finished, just adding more images. You can have a look if you like... www.sar-photography.com - any comments would be most welcome!

Cheers
Simon

Welcome from Canada.

I finally got to Scotland a couple of months ago - what a wonderful place.

Welcome, Simon. My people come from that neck of the woods. Don't know exactly where, but the official clan site is in Sorbie. One goal I have is to go to nearby Wigtown. When not in the book stores in Wigtown, I will be out photographing.

Thanks for the warm welcomes! I have been to Wigtown many times John, I always seem to lose a few hours looking round the bookshops.
Thnaks for the comment on my photo's Jeanette - much appreciated!

Welcome aboard Simon. If I lived in SW Scotland I don't think my 5x4 would spend nearly as much time in its bag as it does now!

Have fun, Bob.
