canadian,eh!

[richard brown]

Greetings from Canmore, Alberta. I live in the canadian rockies beside banff national park and an hour out of calgary, stampede city. Great country and after 27 years here, the mountains still amaze me with their beauty. I do love to take my large format cameras and travel. Have dragged a toyo 45A through italy, guatemala, mexico, new mexico and new england as well as throughout canada. Like to shoot colour ( please note the correct spelling, yuk,yuk) but have a b&w darkroom.
There are a few of us die hard large format photographers in the area and I am organizing the annual fall photo show (mixed formats and abilities) for the Canmore Artists Guild. Lots of members and friends have embraced the dark side and i too have a lovely D200 nikon but still am not convinced!
I do weddings and family stuff to feed the dog and landscapes to feed my soul.
So far its working in both camps and the dog and I still get to play a lot!
I now have an ebony and a kardan super colour.....but this disease knows no bounds. Always looking for the ideal set up......even shoot with an art pan 6x17, a 35mm noblex and a horseman 6x12 for the field camera. Have done some colour printing and am planning to rent some access to 30x40 processor for an upcoming show. Might call it "Go Big or Go Home"
I am impressed to see so many intelligent, warm, helpful people giving of their abilities and knowledge....one of the many benefits of being part of the photo community.

... you "can more" what? Pickles? Peaches? Sardines? By the case or by the vat? :)

I have no idea why so many Canucks are suddenly turning up (turnuping? - in the vein of fruits and veggies). But it's good to know there is semi-sentient life somewhere in North America.

Welcome! It's good to have you here.

Don't be fooled, Richard. Everyone will send you their respective invoices at the end of the month. ;)

Seriously, welcome.

Eh! :)

Doncha know? Now that we have 24 hours of daylight, some of the snow has melted and the cameras lost last fall in the snowbanks are there for the taking.

Canmore is a great place to be for LF. Good shooting!

[Mike Kovacs]

London Ontario

I shoot some LF on my 4x5 monorail, mostly nature photography. I do some camera repair as a hobby.

[Joseph O'Neil]

After years of watching Royal Canadian Air Farce on the CBC (or in reruns), how can anyone publically admit they are from Canmore?

:)

From London, Ont too. Mike (above) is probally the SOB who beat me to the good, used 4x5 Omega enlarger at Reades a couple weeks ago. :)

Victor, here from Toronto, please don't throw stuff, I grew up here!

Good to find another LF photographer in these parts. We live in Waiparous. I'll hope to meet you some time.

Completly new to the format but have been a 35mm shooter for a while and started using medium format for the past year and a half. Have been learning alot from other forums and I know a couple of the names here. I really want to learn LF and found this is one of the places to do it!! I don't know if it will show up but I'm in London, Ontario but my heart is still in Calgary (born and raised).
