Hi everyone...

I was born French and now live in southern Florida. Long time photographer, 35mm and medium format B&W as well an avid vintage lens collector’s, for some raison the last 3 years I turned to digital, adapting those oldies with surprising results and headaches.

Many times searching for answers, I did end-up on LF forum that bringing so many good memories that now I am going back at least 30 years earlier. I do have an old 6x15 LF wooden field and lucky enough to have a Cook process and several early Petzval lens. I started construction of a wet plate back holder; at completion I am sure I will be seeking guidance from those with wet plate experience.

So after this brief introduction, it's nice to meet you all - I'm looking forward to discus and share humble my experiences

Welcome Pat... I went to digital few years ago and came back to film. I like the journey more than the destination i guess. I love going to the Keys to find my photos.. Florida is a great state for nature photography

Indeed. Lots of options for fauna and flora exist around the state, but some of my favorites are Big Pine Key, Everglades National Park, Shark Valley, Big Cypress and Loxahatchee.
The list goes on and on, but those were my top 5 when I lived there.
