Thank you Nitefly. That's very kind. There are so many guys that I regularly look for. Raymond J Barlow, Airic, Archangel, and of course Terri
"...of course Terri".....:blushing: That made me say "wow". Thank you for the nod.
We really have a wealth of great photogs on this site. Everyone that's been mentioned so far here, and Matt mentioning Tuna, gets a :thumbup: from me as well. I love how different our approaches can be. Whenever Matt pulls out the Widelux, it's funny to see how many views he gets. We all know we're in for a treat. Same thing when Chiller goes out for a stroll.

I have a particular fondness for my fellow alt-geeks, JamesD working on the pinhole stuff and Charlie with his paper negative imagery, Jeff Canes shooting the color infrared film. Hard to get bored looking at everyone's stuff!
Cliched as it may sound, until I saw an exhibit of Ansel Adams prints, I never fully appreciated the mastery. Those prints
glittered, they
glowed. I walked out of there feeling like I'd seen the Holy Grail, or something.

That sealed my desire to become better at silver gelatin printmaking, to try to understand the relationships of film/developer/paper/developer to come up with something beautiful.
I never get tired of looking at B&W prints and the masters of imagery - I could never really pick a favorite!
