just stumbled in here, neat forum. I got started in photography in the 60's with a hand me down Nikon F and eventually gravitated to the photolab side of the profession, never lost the fascination of creating images from negatives. From there I got involved with aerial processing and printing, 9x9 negs and positives on 250' rolls. Most of my career was spent squinting into a grain magnifier coaxing horizontal 10x10 Dursts and DeVeres back and forth to make anything from 8x10's up to multi-panel murals on everything from mylar to Cibachrome. Now it's all photoshop and digital printers, can't say I really miss the old relics but it is amazing what we were able to do with what now seems so antiquated. Looking forward to seeing what all is going on in this community.
