introduction

[Ray.Hale@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

     Hello,  I've been in lurk mode for about two weeks, partially bashful 
     but also busy with end of Spring term/beginning of Summer term.  I've 
     found the discussions on this list informative and want to be part of 
     that.  So, here's my bio using the recommended format.  My websites 
     are basic, as I'm very much a beginner with html.  I'm still writing 
     simple code and haven't tried any software for the fancier stuff, yet. 
     I'll be changing my website and my student's sites every month or so.  
     Comments are welcome.  My students would especially appreciate that!  
     
     Ray
     PS- I've only seen one other new listmember bio in the last two weeks. 
     Are these archived anywhere so that a new member can have a look-see 
     at who's who on the list?
     
     xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - Name:    Ray Hale
     
     - Profession/Study:   Photo Instructor, Santa Fe Community College, 
     Gainesville, Fl
     
     - Country:  USA
     
     - Personal history of photography:  I'm mostly self taught and I've 
     had some wonderful mentors and teachers.  I've done fun, personal work 
     from mid-60's, medical photography in the early '70's, 
     travel/corporate late '70's, PR/Educational early '80's, teaching 
     since '83.  Started playing with digital in '97.
     
     - Preferred subjects:  wide angle landscape, close-up nature/found 
     still life, environmental portraits
     
     - Materials (film, filters, paper, chemistry):  HIE (maybe EIR), TMY, 
     TMZ, E-6   Agfa MC Matte, Kodak Ektalure & Elite, Ilford MG Warm      
     Polaroid transfers      High contrast montages(HCS)     
     
     - Format (35mm/medium format/large format): 35mm Nikons/ Bronica ETRS, 
     Diana, Lubi/ Calumet 4x5, Speed Graphic
     
     - Other strange hobbies: vintage motorcycles and VW's, Cleveland 
     Indians baseball cards and memorabilia (recapturing my misspent youth 
     at the ballpark)
     
     - How did you find out about this list: WJ's Photo Homepage (wow, what 
     a site!)
     
     - In case you already have your own IR-Gallery on the web, please 
     state the URL/address: (I will then also add your site to the overview 
     of IR-Galleries on my homepage!....think of the fame you can 
     get....:-))

     faculty pages linked from here)
     
     - Expand on anything photographic you like:
     I love teaching.  The environment is one of constant experimenting, 
     which I might not do otherwise.  I exhibit 2-3 times a year, which 
     keeps me creating new work regularly.  I've been working steadily with 
     b/w IR in my personal work for about 10 years but have only shot color 
     IR twice before, with unsatisfactory results.  I'm looking forward to 
     using the new EIR and to sharing ideas with this list.  My students 
     and I will be looking at the various IR websites mentioned or linked 
     from this list as we work on our IR projects.  We hope you'll check 
     out ours.
