Thanks for looking Ken,
in part, I'm doing the darkroom course to 'fire' up the enthusiasm again.
I still have the darkroom set up, but have not really used it for a couple
of years. Most of my images are made on 'holiday' and that has meant
overseas travel, and that has meant digital, so although I would like to
be using b/w film, carrying two systems is just too hard.

The first workshop is Digital V Film. This should be very interesting.

Thanks again for the comments

Alastair
