Thanks for the suggestions Guakala.
Fortunately there is a good used book store across the street from
me. I picked up a nice book on photography, film for sure, it's dated 1970's.
The book talks briefly of the history of photography, and seems to hit on
the key points of photography.
The Ricoh XR-S seems like a real fine camera.
Have you ever shot with a TLR camera?

Hello reader,
I am a bit new to photography, well film photography that is.
The camera I am shooting with is a Pentax K1000. I like it!
Film fascinates me. I like the idea of photosensitive crystals in an emulsion
reacting to light to create an image, really magic!
Now, I don't have any real complaints of digital photography, it definitely gets the job done,
it's just not as appealing to me as film. Maybe I like the idea of negative/slide on a gelatin strip
instead of pixels, 01001001's.
I am trying different kinds of film and finding there's a nice selection out there.
It can get costly with buying film and processing. But a little hobby allowance is available from time to time.
Then there's the wait making it much more thrilling to take
a photo and see if the damn thing comes out! From what I've experienced so far can be a real let down or
rewarding pay off!
So any how, I am here to pick up a few tips, check out some other's photography, and share some of mine.
I see a majority of you guys shoot digital, which is cool, but if any of you have tips
for film, please, I'm all ears!
Thank you!
Fisher
