My name is Jakob (I usually go by Jake). I am new to medium format and Hasselblad though I've been a student of photography for fifteen years. My introduction to Hasselblad was in the late 1990's as an assistant to a fashion/wedding photographer in Seattle I knew only as Amjad. It was like working for James Bond! Ultimately professional, a leader and an artist, he had made a name for himself and shot some prominent weddings at the time. I loved the images he could create using the MF medium and i vowed to try it for myself one day. Now, thirteen years later, I finally own a Hassy of my own, the venerable 500c/m and two lenses, the 50mm Distagon CT* and the 250mm Sonnar CT*. At the moment, my entire setup is off to Hasselblad Tech David Odess for servicing but when it all returns, I will post images for you to enjoy and critique. I have no digital images yet, unfortunately. Thanks for the forum; I look forward to meeting each of you!
Cheers,
Jake.
