finding a voice again, picking up a camera again.

Hello,

Well I spent years taking photos and developing all kinds of great things.
Then I went digital, honestly it killed my love for it. There seemed like such a lack of wanting to capture the world. I have spent a large amount of this decade not behind my camera.

A camera has been that gadget on my phone and I hated it.

So I get a call from my father telling me that there is a package coming.

I get it and I find one of his MF in it a Mamiya C220 with 3 lenses and an old light meter.

I think I may have something to say again.

Hopefully I can come here and post a few pics and get some feedback as I get back into my first real love.

Welcome back to your first love and to TPF.

What a great story! :thumbup: I hear from a lot of people who "go digital" and then find it's just lacking for them. You're not alone.

Sounds like you have lucked up into a great MF system! Welcome to TPF - looking forward to seeing your work.

Welcome to the forum, and glad to "hear" you got your voice back. We often put down the thing we love, sometimes it just takes a little spark to get started again. (pun intended). After you are all warmed up, please share some of your voice with us.

I can understand that...but I can't say I've experienced it. I wish I could have done darkroom stuff. But honestly, with digital, I treat my post processing as my darkroom time...and work at it just like I would if it was film. You can't just take pictures and print them and hope...

Glad you found a love again, though. MF looks like lots of fun.
