Hello from Michigan

My name is JC, gonna try a new forum out. Thanks for having me. I have been into photography just under 3 years. I used to draw and paint but decided to give all my supplies (box truck worth) to my son who is a very talented artist.

I did it for 40 years and decided to try a new medium. I used to buy bin photo's from pro photogs in Detroit throughout the years and used them for reference in paintings, pen & ink drawings. I was always fascinated in the skill of taking a photograph. Still looking to create a good one. 

I shoot mostly film with a Nikon F but do family stuff like soccer games, plays, musicals, with a Fujifilm digital camera. I own a Nikon F, F2, F3 SLR, a Fujifilm XT2, and a GFX50R is coming. I prefer the 50mm focal length. For Nikon film SLR, I inventory a 16, 35, 50, 135, 50-135, and a 100-300. For the Fuji XT2, I have a 35, 18-55, and a 55-200. The GFX50R that is coming has a 63mm with it, I will add a 250mm to it at some point. 

I have my own darkroom and make prints from it. I prefer Kodak chemicals because they produce consistent results in my environment. 

I bought a GFX because I could. I have a customer that requires it.

Thanks for the welcome. I like to shoot street but I do a little of everything. I shoot film mostly but getting into digital more and more. I do the best I can and don't take myself to seriously.
