Welcome to the fold, Dan. Don't worry too much about the arguments over photography genres & who is and who ain't elite, a "real" photographer, or insane . . . heck we just like to have a little row occasionally to see who is suffering from hardening of the categories.

As long as we play with sheet film or plates, then we share a common bond . . . we are all Luddites to some degree.
