An Arkie on the web

[B&Jdude]

Hello! I'm an ordinary guy, age a bit over 60, living in an Ozark Mountain small town. My first film camera was a Boy Scout Brownie at about 8 or 9, then later got a B&J Press 4x5 at age 13. Drifted away from LF for many years, then recently got back into it. Now using 120, 4x5, 5x7, & 8x10 and virtually all I shoot is B&W.

Ordinary is a relative term. We're all ordinary in some context, right? I'm still looking for my context. Welcome, Eugene, from the heart of New England, somewhere west of Boston.

I'm back . . . had some sort of trouble since I was on last, and have been unable to log on prior to now. I hollered "HELP" at Jim Galli over on the LF Forum and he must have gotten it fixed.

Anyhoo, ordinary was, I surmise, a lousy word choice, as I certainly wouldn't want to be known as ordinary, in the general lay sense of the word. Whitey, I think your "ordinary as a relative term" is more to my liking, as it looks more toward the connotative, rather than denotative, meaning of ordinary. I like that, as it gives me some wiggle room!

So, I am happy to be an eccentric, oddball, photographer interloping within this body of normal folks. EU
