Hi all,

It's been a long time coming, but I've finally decided joined the heralded LFF that I've heard so much about. I'm a tree with few rings when it comes to large-format photography, but I've learnt a great deal from those over at APUG and I'm sure the same will be true here.

My foray into LF began when a Burke & James Orbit monorail (with red bellows) appeared on my local CraigsList. It was impossible to resist; so, one saxophone (as trade) and a hundred & fifty dollars later, I was outfitted for 4x5".

My next move is to get a press camera so I can throw it in my backpack and ride my '71 Honda CB100 around the beautiful countryside of Lawrence, KS (home of the Jayhawks!) and search for "the photographable".

All the best,

C.H.
Lawrence, KS

You'll find many ape huggers also frequent this forum. Welcome to the wonderful world of larger negatives.
