Pookie said:A little street work... I have been stranger shooting for ages. Over 3000 after about 10 years doing it. Never got the hang of candid work and always felt it kinda sneaky so I ask people for their portraits instead. I'm trying to do more sneaky stuff these days. I have about 30 rolls of BW to develop soon and I'm eager to see what comes of it.
Really nice character shot, Pookie!

Thanks Eldar, Click and DPC...
Great action shot... perfect for BW.
I read your Flickr profile Eldar. Struck a chord with me a bit with the darkroom comment. Many years ago I had my own darkroom and did tons of film but when digital came around I was quick to just ship (unlike your situation) as it was "NEW"... a little different than you. Now after many years in digital I have been moving to analog again. I run a studio and I'm not a anti-digital as I need to rely on it for client work but for everything else I'm moving back to analog. I love the process more than ever now in my life. I'm going to follow you on Flickr to see your updates !
Cheers, David...
Ans another BW using a X100S...

I enjoyed the darkroom a lot. However, I am now totally converted to digital. I have thought of picking up analogue and film again, but I don´t have enough time. If I started with film again it would be to also produce proper prints and that takes a lot of time. But you never know, retirement is approaching and suddenly I will have all the time in the world.
Instead I have bought a Leica M10, with an APO Summicron 50/2 and a Summilux 35/1.4. I travel a lot and wanted the size/quality combination. The sensor in the M10 is quite impressive, compared to its predecessors. However, I have not used a rangefinder for about 30 years, so I suppose it will be a frustrating few first months, but hopefully I will get the technique back eventually ...

Nice work ! I just bought the M10 also. I have quite a few Leicas from analog to digital but I still favor the first one I bought in 86 (M6 .72 non-ttl). Though the M10 is quite nice. I'm a few years from retirement but the studio now runs without my daily input. So I am free to shoot as much film as I like (and chase my kids around). A new darkroom and proper paper printing will be up next.
