I finally joined the forum so I can view the attached pictures you all have been posting, be it gear or photographs!
What great pictures, thank you! Definitely worth signing up just for that.
On to myself, my name is Patrick and I live near Washington, DC. I got bit by the rangefinder bug about a year ago, and I finally hit the Leica stage. I picked up a Leica M2 and had a CLA done by Youxin Ye. I never knew split images could be so bright! Before, I had a Canonet 28, Yashica MG-1, and a Zorki 4 with a Jupiter 8.
I am really loving shooting film, especially black and white. I feel as if I am becoming one with the camera! I have started developing on my own rolls and it's satisfying and relieving! I find it relieving because I can get my black and white rolls developed anytime I want in my own house!
If you want to take a look at my work, check out my tumblr and my personal blog.
I am excited to share my Leica experience with everyone. I am equally excited to absorb the wealth of knowledge and experience contained here!
