Where to start?
Well as I am running out of things to look at on the internet these days I thought it might be a good idea to start up my own blog, therefore adding to the wealth of complete nonsense on the interweb and at the same time filling my free time. Since one of my hobbies is photography I thought it prudent to have a photoblog as this would serve to be a ‘log book’ of my experiences with photography and so some day I can look back on it to see how my techniques/outlooks on my hobby have changed.Since this is my first post here on my new blog maybe a little introduction would be a good place to start. I am an amateur photographer, as I do it just for fun, but have managed to build up a small collection of equipment over the last year. I now have a Nikon D70s digital slr camera as well as my recently purchased Mamiya RB 67 Pro S (pictured here) , which is a medium format film camera. I have purchased the Mamiya with the intention of setting up my own darkroom and someday being able to both process negatives and print my own shots. At the moment I have only the camera, but the equipment for processing my negatives is now in the post. I’ll be sure to post again when I have processed my first set of negatives :)
Please feel free to browse my online photo gallery: Gringo Galleries
Thanks for reading.

It is really cool watching you develop your photography techniques. Although I don't necessarily understand all of the techincal information, I do enjoy looking at the finished products.
You being a photographer also means a perfect excuse to go travelling. I hear St Davids is nice this time of year, and the Lake District. London also...I know they don't like people taking photos with an SLR of certain monuments, but there are lots of really cool shops that can be visited instead :).
I think I still need some convincing about having a dark room somewhere in the house. The attic would be good. Lay a couple of boards down and you'll be fine ;p
