Hello! Any LF Peeps in NE Ohio?

I'm in the NW/ Toledo area. New to the LF field, and am still looking for a camera.

Hi all. I am the guilty John Powers mentioned above. Thank you for the kind words. I am host of the NE OH Gatherings, three or four a year in warm weather for the last five years. There is a post for the next event on the Midwest LF Asylum and on Apug.org. I will post here. The Apug post usually gets the most response. We have quite a few people saying they will be at our May 17-19, 2013 event. All film shooters are welcome.

I know Adam. He has been to these events. My wife and I have been to his house.

John Powers and other NE Ohio photographers:

I grew up in Lorain, Ohio in the '50s when Lake Erie would froze all the way to Canada and we had lots of snow. In the late '60s, I was a photojournalist for the Lorain Journal and later the Akron Beacon Journal. Even though I currently live in Atlanta, Georgia I try to get up to Ohio to see family every year or two. They live in Cincinnati, Columbus and Elyria.

The way the jet stream has been pumping moisture into the USA this year I suspect Ohio is in for a record snowfall during the winter of 2013/2014. So I plan to drive up to Lorain County between blizzards this winter in order to shoot landscapes with my 4x5 gear.

I have in my archives some 30 minute B&W exposures that I created of the frozen Lorain harbor a couple years ago late one night using my 35mm Nikons and want to try to duplicate those on 4x5. The temperature was -5*F that night. Those photos are on my bucket list.

Please contact me if you plan any winter outings.

Thank you.
