Hello everyone, my name is Ethan Taylor and I am 18 years old living in the south-east U.S.

I am coming from a background in digital photography, but thanks to my friend and mentor, who has taught me everything about photography, I have been able to begin my large format journey. I learnt the basics on a Anba Ikeda 4x5 and I have just recently purchased my own 4x5 outfit. I will be shooting on a Tachihara field camera and hopefully successfully developing my own black and white film.

I know some people on this forum have been shooting large format longer than I have been alive, so I am very open to keep learning with every step. I am very excited that I get to be a part of this community.
