Since my LF enlarger is currently being freighted to me, saying hello seems a good thing to.
But it is not for this reason alone that I write but rather to thank you all for the existence of the LF website and forum. While I have the experience and skill to use a 4x5 monorail there are always many things you don't know and solutions to problems you had not thought of.
I have retired early from a publishing career thanks to chronic fatigue syndrome and FM and so now have some time to devote art photography. I also write poetry and other fictions. It has come to my notice, also, that I don't write unless I am doing some type of photography. The two seem to feed off each other and my current interest is the way still monochrome photos seem to have a haptic space (borrowing a word from psychology) which creates optical perception. I am also playing around with triptychs.
The enlarger BTW is a Fujimoto condenser. LF camera is a Calumet 45N and I also use a Mamiya TLR system.
