Welcome Avinash!
Greetings from India!
My name is Avinash, and I’ve been an active photographer since 1978. After a long career in commercial photography, I’ve recently dedicated myself to the art of alternative photography. I’m passionate about exploring new techniques and am excited to be a part of this community. I believe that there’s always more to learn, and I’m looking forward to connecting with and learning from all of you.
Has anyone tried exposing photo polymer plates using a pin hole camera?
