    Thanks,

    Wow. Talk about starting at the top.

    I started developing and printing in 1953, using a pocket folder that I bought used for maybe $3.
    The utility room became a darkroom, using an enlarger that I built from scratch.
    I developed and printed photos, but certainly nothing award-winning.

    I use the center column (two tripods) to raise the front end of my car when doing an oil change.

    Being a successful photographer requires knowledge, skill, talent, and a really good camera.

    Well.....Prior to Lomography, digital, and I-phones.
    Real cameras are measured in inches...
    Not pixels.
