You'll want to post in plain text as opposed to rich text (html).
That way, everyone can read the messages you post.

I worked the 1-hour thing for a few years, while going through school.
It's a good place to meet people with similar interests and get a
discount on materials you use at home.  I'm a Pentax 6x7 shooter
when I'm not shooting 4x5 or 8x10.  Color is great for portraits.
Especially on matte paper.  I'm trying to include more color in
my darkroom at home.  I'm still trying to decide whether I want
to print from negatives or transparencies so I'll be trying both.
Right now I have a box of PRN100 in 4x5 i'm working through.

I'm a follower of Ansel's techniques.  I like his style.  I tried
to do some surreal/abstract meaning stuff but it's not really me.

correctly!   My name is >Van. I am a photographer living in
Louisiana/Mississippi. I run a portrait/wedding studio >with a 1-hour lab
and a dark room where I print my own things as well as for others. Now

and I'm a student of the zone >system. Of course my studio work is
predominantly in color so I have become versed in that >medium as well. As
we are short on landscapes here in my area..(unless you like Soy Bean

not readily available here in my small area.
