Photography must belong here, or what?

I see the odd photo thread in "random", but I certainly consider photography an 'art form', even though I don't see myself as an artist. I'm a hack with a camera fetish.

The iPhone is my only digital. Real photography requires film (just kidding - what I mean is that I prefer film. I don't mind digital photography at all, it's just not "my thing").

I have a few Nikon 35mm (FE2, FM2, FA) and a bunch of mostly prime lenses, a Hasselblad 501c, a Fuji GX680II and even a Sinar 4x5" system.
I also have all the stuff I need to build a darkroom in the basement, but I also have ADD, so it's a PLAN. A future, not a feature. I can still develop the film, and then scan the negatives (or positives).

Anyway. Anyone else mix their own b&w soup?
Here's one from the Hassy, using my buddie's 40mm, developed in home made coffee developer. :)

Nice job. Mine usually suck but I'm still learning.
