Hi Matt,

Welcome from Hawaii. I'm glad you found us, and glad you joined. I do a bit of 35mm myself, and have seriously considered getting a RZ67 - I've always loved those Mamiya cameras. Most of my serious work is on 4x5 however; I love the format, but after a long day at the office it can be difficult to get out with it.

Like you, my day job is with computers, and I get a bit tired of working with them and don't want to relax in front of one.

Looking forward to seeing some of your work, especially, your stuff from Afghanistan.

Hello everyone! I found this site the other day while looking for film related material on the net. I've been into photography seriously for about 5 years now...learning all the time. I'm a hobbyist -- in fact my day job is working with computers and networking, so I get very tired of that kind of stuff quickly when I am not at work. My love of photography was finally realized when I was sent to Afghanistan with the military back in 2002-2003 (imagine that?) Needless to say, it has been my passion outside of my cubicle walls ever since.

I mainly shoot with an RB67 that i acquired recently, and a 35mm, mostly black and white film that i develop at home and traditional printing (I rent darkroom space periodically to print my work). I am starting to shoot some medium format chromes as well. My favorite subjects are details of vintage cars, nature, and portraits. I really try to capture a moment or mood in time, or a moment in times past.

Well, much luck to this site. I hope to share and learn here with all of you. I can already see the level of talent here, and I'm really glad to find people with similar interests.
