TPF Noob!
Hi all,
I'm not actual newcommer but i had never had the opporunioty to introduce myself on this site.
I come from Paris, a strange colourful or greyish spot with nice things to photog, though a bit too crowed and anonym.
french photo sites are nowaways packed with angry and rude people and i was bored by comments such as "I gave old my cameras to tens of young skillful photographers. Your photos are so ugly and uninteresting that I wouldn't even give you a yellow filter, you little ****!"
Astonished by such violent and worthless answers, I did what some of my compatriots did a hundred years ago : I cross the Atlantic and went to the US.
So here I am ;
My name's Stéphane, and I'm 18. I'm in my last highschool term, and hope to be accepted in a nice uni.
My gears : I'm the lucky owner of a tremendous Zeiss Tessar-ed 1959 Rolleiflex T, one of the best camera ever.
I've also got a 1956 Kiev IIIa with a 1957 Jupiter 8, wonderful camera, but it may be swaped soon for a 1961 Kiev 4, because the 25th looks rather like a 10th, and it's very hard to stand still...
And also a couple of reflex : a Pentax SP1000, a praktica llc with the pentax's takumar on it , plus collectibles : a beau brownie 2a art-deco, a 4x5 folding from the 20s, a Lubitel.
I like landscape and portrait photography, and i'm trying to improve my reportage style.
That's all!
Cheers
Stéphane
