Hello from Tucson

the other night i was on my computer working with some photos, and when i saw that i had nearly 8500 file of photos that i hardly ever look at, much print i went into my dark room and thought of what i was missing. i have used the room for storage for years, and what a mess. i found my speed graflex, both 4x5 and 2x3, also my calumet. i gave it up when the divorce was final and found out that she had thrown away all my negatives, about 3800. so i started to clean up the cameras and visited the local camera store to buy some film. i stumble across your form and read a few of the articles, and thought there is great information here. i hope to shoot some film tomorrow in tombstone, and see if i remember what to do. i know that i had a lot of fun years ago, many years ago. i have to get some chemicals, but i have all the other darkroom equipment. i want to say thanks in advance as i have picked a lot of information already. continue the great work. thanks rcrull

I think most of us tend to shoot more with digital and find we have less keepers. Large format has a way of slowing us down so we are more committed to each shot. So hopefully more shots that we want to print.

Welcome to the forum!

She threw away your negatives??? Glad you divorced her!!
