Egbert Here

Egbert · 12-09-2021, 05:16 AM

Hi. Would have been happy to lurk awhile longer, but the psychological pressure of those reminders that I hadn't introduced myself finally wore me down. There were blackouts, tears, unearthed revelations, and finally a faint, unsteady hope on the horizon that guided me to this place, this time.

So here I am, just a girl standing in front of a forum, asking it to love her. Sure... not a girl and actually lying down, but I think you get me. You madcap, you always did.

I live in Ireland, but am originally from Philly. Working on a second divorce and pricing vans down by the river. I had a little b/w darkroom in the pre-digital age, but have had my photography stuff - film and digital - packed away for a few years. Thinking about playing with some of it again lately. That's it. At least for now.

I hope you're all well and enjoying a pleasant holiday season.

Egbert/Ed

You had me at the Notting Hill reference, but the Chris Farley one sealed the deal. Looking forward to your posts.

Sorry about the divorce, happy you have photography to fall back into.

Welcome to the forum Ed! Greetings from Greece! Getting back in photography would be a great way to get some steam off and leave certain thoughts behind. Grab a camera and go out.

Welcome to the forums, and looking at the bright side, you are in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Good luck with everything else and happy holidays!

You are obviously a bit of a fan of movies too!
