Ive been a student of photography for 4 years now and have one thing to say about it, theirs always more to learn. I started out with only a cheep point and shoot taking photos when i had film, to receiving my sisters old Minolta X-700 that she got from my dad about 10-15 years back. When I first started taking lessons they where in a black and white wet darkroom shooting Tmax 100 which i still shoot along with some Ilford Black and White film. As i currently don't have access to the darkroom i used to use i have switched mainly to digital, I loath the fact and miss the hands on experience but everything changes and i hope to get into a darkroom in the near future. Photography is a passion and a hobby that keeps me going when times are tough.
