Re: Re: new to this list

Hi,

I guess I might as well get into the act. I am not new to this
list, having been a member since November 18th, 1999 but this is
the first time you are hearing from me. In the meantime, I have
accumulated quite an archive of useful material from this group
and quite the collection of pinhole photos that have been posted
here over the years.

I am 53 years old, live in Montréal, Québec, Canada, teach
philosophy and have been back to photography, darkroom and all,
for the past five years. I work with lenses in 35, 4.5x6, 6x6,
6x9, 4x5 and 8x10. I also collect vintage cameras and lenses
from the 1930's to 1960's. I made my first pinhole over forty
years ago for a science project in high school; the following
year, we built an x-ray tube and since I was also the school
photographer, I got to develop the 4x5 x-ray of my hand. I still
have it, my hand that is. I just recently decided to get back to
pinhole photography as a complement to a photo project I am
working on. As a result, I just recently acquired some pinholes
from a fellow member of this group. I am following with much
interest the discussion on 4x5 pinholing since I want to use the
pinholes on my 4x5 Crown Graphic and Kodak Empire 8x10.

May the light be with you.
