Thanks for the kind remarks Guy...
Our club is a few months old...the idea was of 2 students in a friend's photo class I was assisting...Then they made more contacts and we located a local pro taht is more advanced than us. (he was the man behind everything and hosts club's meets in his shop for the time being). Then a bunch of youngsters joined in....
Fresh good news: The municipality of Veria has given us use of a unused city building in a village nearby...we will be going there next week to see on installing a darkroom...
Indeed Greece is one of the strongholds of B&W photography...Influenced by an older socialist way of being (but that is another story not) there is NO club and school that does not start teaching and printing from the Silver based chemistry. To some people/schools/movements digital color is a sacrilege!
Although we aim not being dogmatic on B&W art photography, new club members are urged to find.buy/borrow a camera that allows manula settings. Nikon FM2s are plentiful. We have procured copious amounts of APX from Germany, ilford paper is still plentiful in Greece, and soon most of the 25+ members (excluding me for going digital and short on time) found their way to 3 members' darkrooms. Add to that 2 enlargers working in my city's art workshops (where my friend teaches) and we have 1-5 ratio. it seems either crazy or dreamy these days doesn't it?
And the whole affair is so rejuvenating! tnx for the interest, Kostas
