I am a 52 year old oil-refinery worker. I became interested in photography while in high school. I learned B&W film developing at a home darkroom of a fellow fellow student, and the first items I acquired when I started working was a Nikon camera and lenses. I have waited until recently to jump into the digital fray when pixel sizes became similar to film grain. I have now abandoned film and shoot with a Sony DSC V-3 and a Nikon D80.
