Hello from Astoria, NY

[FilmNoir]

Hello all! I have been reading the threads on this forum for a few weeks now and have decided that I'd like to join you. A little about my photographic interests: I currently have a home darkroom (small closet for the dry side, and using the bathroom for the wet side), and I have just got back into it after 7 years of not doing anything. I took a course in black & white photography about 8-9 years ago, and decided that I wanted to build my own dark room, which I did back in my old apt and I used it quite a bit! So now I started out the new year with getting back into developing film and printing as well, and I am loving it! I am using a Bogen 22 enlarger and I also have a Rolleimat Universal that I am setting up to use (bought it at a flea market for $20) The Bogen I bought years ago for $50 all set up and ready to use. So I am doing 35 mm work now, and definitely plan on getting into MF (just lucked out with acquiring a 6x6 negative carrier for my Bogen on Ebay yesterday!).

Anyway, here I am and I am looking forward to interacting with many of you. :-)
