Hi all! Wilton, CA Hello, My name is Mike and Wilton is south of Sacramento, CA. We are a rual community, so I have access to barns, farming equiptment, and livestock. The perfect things for for a black and white photographer such as myself. I shoot VERY little color. What I enjoy is the tones and texture that can be coaxed out of a negative. Being in a wet darkroom is much more enjoyable than sitting in front of a monitor doing my work. Although the computer chair is much more comfortable than my cramped dr, I would rather spend 2 hours in the dr doing the same thing I could do in 1 hour with a keyboard. I look forward to making many friends on this world-wide site.
Mike

Ah... a fellow after my own heart (tones & textures)! Welcome to APUG, Mike! What kind of gear do you like to shoot with?

Hi Mike, I agree totally with the attractions of the darkroom. Though I am lucky to have enough room to get an office chair in front of the enlarger!

Welcome from someone who grew up in Wilton,
Connecticut. (Also lived in Sacremento in 1981-82)
Exciting info, huh?
Anyway, welcome aboard. Lot's of great folks hereabouts.

Welcome to the group, Mike. You'll find that a lot of members/subscribers here, if not most, prefer B&W as well.
