A slightly belated introduction.

This was supposed to be posted yesterday, but my 'net connection died just as I pressed "Submit"... I guess it took the command seriously. Or may that's capitulation... hmm. Anyway:

I'm normally not the kind of person that walks into a room and loudly proclaims his presence. Or even softly whispers... However, it seems to be a friendly room here. It is friendly, right??

I'm just a regular, occasionally working, photographer. My business specializes in architecture (mostly churches and pipe organs), some commercial, occasional event, and (dare I claim it?) "fine art". I take my gear out with me when I hike, but I'm not a very prolific landscape shooter.

I inherited my love of photographic images from my father, who specialized in art reproduction photography. Most of his work was for for museums, so I started my carreer by pulling the shots out of his Linhof's Polaroid back (I like to think of it as "proto-chimping"). My first SLR was an old Exacta. My dad died a very long time ago, but he would love my digital stuff. I know he would. Well, he might. Er, hmmm...

Anyway, I've enjoyed Open Forums. Good stuff!

I like doing that myself, although I find myself mostly focusing (pun intended) on stained glass.

Hi Victor,

I'd like to see some of those Exacta pictures. Was those one of those military green ones with a removal reflex viewfinder and a wait level view finder?

Anyway, a huge belated welcome!

Look forward to you sharing your experience and some of your images!

Asher

BTW, could you put yout first name in your profile.

Welcome, Victor!

Hope you're not too shy to share at least some of your work

Cheers!
