Richard K. has been a great help and a fountain of knowledge for many people
here. IMHO, he is not thanked nearly enough! My life goal is meet him in
person some day and see the room (cavern?) where he keeps his reference
material.

Methinks he owns stock in the LA public library ;)

Long ago, I think someone said that Richard could use some special film and
someone here could send it to him as a Thank You for sharing his years of
priceless knowledge.

Richard, is there a film? If not, then what do you need?

Thanks again for being here for us.

I agree. I just wish that you were active on APUG.

APUG is an inbred clique of a dozen or so people. They hate expertise
outside of their domain. I am very happy Richard is 'out there' (which is
here) for the Rest of Us.

So why did they kick you out?

I agree to some extent. I think APUG is OK just as Puresilver is as
well, but I'd rather see the contributors come back out and play in
the yard with the rest of us.

While we all know that this is an expensive hobby, I'd add that unless you spend $$$ on
your LF equipment, you'll feel out of place.

Heaven forbid you advocate using a Componon lens as a taking lens, you're likely to be run
out on rails. Building a camera? some will say it looks nice, but the general response
will be "yeah, but my Canham (or Wista, Sinar, Chaminox, etc) is more precise, blah, blah,
blah. Of course those of us who just can't afford Richard Ritter's new 20x24 camera, but
want to shoot ULF are heretics, how can it possibly be precise, etc. I could go on for
hours, but I'll bite my tongue and leave it at the majority of the people there are photo
elitists, and camera fondlers. (I do own a few Sinars, bought for far less then market
value (even today's very depressed prices) but enjoy my homebuilt cameras much more.)

My presence on APUG has diminished, and of all the forums, I spend more time on Nelsonfoto
more than anything these days.
