Spiteful little devil
..........to all !
after lurking for some months on read-only I registered yesterday and in my understanding it is appropriate behaviour to say some words about the own person.
When I was young I made (most of my living) as a pro for some years, together with two friends: We had mostly private clients, kids, club events, interior design,
portrait, private erotic stuff , a kind of travelling circus, studio in the car boot, often shooting in the clients houses.
One day I got it all fed up, sold all gear , went to the University again and changed my profession later. This was before digital came up.
Since then I haven't done more than documenting my private life with several cameras I still own for private use, SLR and TLR stuff and some P&S, and since a year or so I own a Bessa R with a Nokton and a 75 Heliar. Very seldom , tho I hate it, I do my friends a favour and shoot birthdays and such kind PIA-stuff.
Sometimes also some sport club events, that's more fun.
O once had used a Leica M too but I had sold it together with the other stuff and recently I felt I should have such a small and light rangefinder thingy again.
And so I bought a used R and the lenses , with the option in my mind to buy a M model later if I should feel I need it. I still don't miss anything tho, this camera works fine, the lenses are superb, the whole set is the perfect solution for me.
I shoot all sort of films and develop my own B&W films .
As I noticed some folks have left the forum recently and some sound as if they would not be far from this decision, among those there were some whose contributions I will miss, their thoughts, their knowledge and their photos.
So I do hope I did not switch from read-only to registered exactly in the moment when all those are leaving who were the reason for my decision to switch on now the active communication. Would be a pity.
