Bio - Nick Jackson

[Nick Jackson <jacks@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all - 

after much quiet reading I finally filled in the bio from Willems
regular admin posting - the guilt got too much


> - Name:                                Nick Jackson
> 
> - Profession/Study:   Architect
> 
> - Country:                            currently Malaysia, but late of London
> 
> - Personal history of photography     aaaah 15 years since starting at architecture school, always very amateurly unitl the last few years when we have at last been able to set up a darkroom at home, - now slightly less amateurly (is that a real word?)
> 
> - preferred subjects:  inevitably architecture, but also trees, stones and other natural phenomena    
> 
> - materials (film, filters, paper, chemistry): agfapan B+W, Iflord, and recently (1roll) Kodak HIE, the rest all very standard, only Kodak stuff available here.
> 
> - format (35mm/medium format/large format): 35mm and the odd roll of 120
> 
> - Other strange hobbies:     swimming with turtles when time permits, and wandering through the rainforest collecting leaches on my body - they seem to like it even if i'm not so sure
> 
> - How did you find out about this list:         Willem's posting on the leica group
> 
> - Expand on anything photographic you like:

I've just shot my first roll of HIE so its early days - developed the
negs, but not yet printed.  So far wildly impressed by their bizarre
character.  I'm using a Leica IIIf for IR which may seem slightly
perverse given the problem of loading in the dark (any tips regarding
trimming a film correctly for the screwmount would be much appreciated!)
but it does have a rangefinder and the lens has markings for Infra red
focal point which is more than my Olympus's can boast.

Enjoying reading the group and will contribute my own ringgitsfrom now
on - no more hiding:-)
