Hi, long time photo shooter from the late 60's to the present, Polaroid to 4 x 5 press cameras, 35mm to medium format. Started shooting with Polaroid Swinger for instant gratification. High School Yearbook Photorapher using Yaschica Mat 124G and a Pentax 35mm. First pro camera is a Konica Auto Reflex T, 2,3, 4, 1st medium format camera Mamiya 330 twin lens reflex upgraded to a Mamiya 645 Pro to mainly shoot landscape, group, portrait and weddings. Owned a Darkroom with Stainless steel sink, trays, chems, timers and Omega B-22 35-120 film enlarger with preferred enlarging paper Ilford RC multi contrast.

Recently switched to digital cameras with a whole lot of learning for formats and post processing software. First camera was a Sony 30x zoom bridge camera that shoots jpegs with the look and feel of a DSLR and features. Next a Sony A-55 SLT C-crop sensor camera where I can use my AF Minolta "A" mount lenses and Sony Lenses. Recently Olympus OM-D micro 4/3 mirror-less with Olympus lenses and vintage OM slr lenses using an adapter. Post production photo editing software are Smart Photo Editor, Luminar, Lightroom, Affinity Photo.

Digital photography is keeping it fresh for me with exploring all the differences between film and digital. Each has taught me more about photography as I explore the path of learning new ways of using and seeing with my equipment be it film or digital, chemicals or computer software.
