Photography
I am very interested in photography, I used to shoot a fair amount of black & white and slide for a hobbyist, but when I left the Army in 1993, I lost my access to a dark room and gave up for a while. I'm just getting back to it and hoping to shortly start shooting medium format. I've done quite a bit of research lately, so for now, here are some links that I've found particularly useful:
Contents
Useful Stores
Information sites
Lots of great info on these sites (many of these people are artists to but the links here are more for knowledge than inspiration):
