Thanks for the compliment and rememberance, Gregg.
Yes I did have a show at the Darkroom in the early 80's that included a variety
of subjects.
At the time that I was a photojournalist, Tri-X was THE FILM.
Now I mostly use HP5, Delta 100 and 3200, and some Pan-F. The new Konica
Monochrome is great and
prints well on automated printers.
BTW- I may take up shooting sports again, but in a retro fashion. Sorry no OM
content--I am
considering shooting some basketball with Tri-X or HP-5 with a Rolleiflex 2.8E.
Kind of betting with
a local young (college age) up and coming sports photographer that I can stay
right with him on
publishable images with less film and better timing. All in good fun, I also
employ this young fellow
part-time and would like to see him become a success. He doesn't quite
understand the fundimentals
yet--too much auto focus, auto exposure, auto reaction motor drive. HE NEEDS
AN OM-1.
Best to all, Mike
