Well, I wish I was using an 8x10. I use an Olympus E5 and shoot with minimal equipment. I have dabbled in photography for years. Film, 2 1/4 Yashica Mat 124G. Freelanced for Autoweek in the late 80's doing Indy and NASCAR. I had an opportunity to do the Canadian GP in '82. I lugged around big lenses and now I adhere to the K.I.S.S. philosophy! Currently I enter local art exhibits and contests. Just for the fun. I believe that I shoot for myself and if anyone else like my work, great! I also have been fortunate enough to sell a few pieces.

Yep...old and a film head, but thanks to the guy who invented digital too...and the "delete" button... I always tell folks just getting into photography, that shooting film is just like a weapon. You only have X number of shots...make'em count" Now off to find out why my 77 B wants to run at 3 grand !!! It sat for I believe about ten years. May be all gunked up. We'll see, Adios from Joisey !

Love that delete button... No more diggin' holes in th' back yard to bury th' mistakes! 
A few months back sent my F2 out for refurb, considered doing it to the old FtN and F-3 but they're now "excess to requirement" AFAIC. And still have one working FE/MD-12.

First TLR was a "Yashica 24". Now sitting on my "eye candy" shelf gatherin' dust. Got a Mamiya C220 while working for the local town rag, in high school & through two years of college. Had 35mm, 55mm and a 135mm for that. Couldn't afford Nikons back then, so opted for Miranda (F and later a couple G model) "system" cameras & lenses as my 35mm gear. Used those later, instead of the USAF-issue Graflex XL (POS!) and got stories and By-lines in "Airman" magazine in my first couple years with the results. Really had to push to get a photo credit back then. A lot of my Air Force shots have shown up as "Photo courtesy: U.S.A.F." Harumph!

In case you didn't see the post, yep, I have been playing with it since the mid 60's. Got my first lesson from one Edie Adams, AP photographer who live in our New Jersey town. His wife was a nurse who worked with my mom. He had a 54 TF in his garage and he asked his wife to get someone to exercise it !!! He returned from Nam, gave me some pointers and film and said have at it. I have used Yashicas in the beginning and moved to Olympus. OM-1's. Did freelance for Autoweek and a few other places. Stll doing some contests and exhibitions as well as a stock agency in England, Alamy.
