I set out on a daytrip to dodge the rain and shoot with three cameras I almost never use. First was the Graflex RB, Series B - a boxy 1947 2x3 120 shooter. Second was a Baby Graflex, also a 2x3. And finally, my normal Crown Graphic with a 6x7 120 roll back. I also shot the Crown with regular 4x5 sheets.
Since I wasn't used to shooting with these cameras in these ways, it was a very frustrating shooting day. Despite that, I had such a wonderful time. I mapped out the trip to explore roads that I had never been one, while hitting a few towns that I've visited many times before. It was a lovely combination of old and new.
I traveled through three (and sort of four) counties: Franklin (and a bit of Adams), Whitman, and Columbia. I've divided this little zine to reflect that. The photos are mostly in chronological order.
The stars here are the lenses and the skies. I can't believe my fortune with the skies. The light cooperated much of the day, appearing along with abandoned houses, old cemeteries and empty fields. Though the shooting was difficult, the views came easy, and the photos, I think, reflect this.
The zine, if you are so interested, is available by following links in my bio.

This style of Dodge Coronet R/T offered for model years 1966-67. This one has the grille of the 1967 model. The performance R/T was available with the 440 cubic inch V8 or the 426 Hemi optional.

This "Willet" was busy dodging the breakers and the globs of Sea Foam washing ashore as he hunted for Sand Crabs.
The Sea Foam or Spume is ginned up by the wave action particularly when it contains dissolved organic particles from offshore algae. Have a great weekend everybody.
Photo taken by my dad somewhere in Los Angeles circa 1960. That's my mom with our 1957 Dodge 4-door sedan. This was scanned off of a photo print which I believe was a print from a transparency.
My mom was born in 1922. So as I post this for today it would have been the occasion of her 100th birthday! She passed away in 2015, being not quite 93 years old. She was of course, a wonderful, loving mother to my sister and me for which we are forever grateful and we honor her today for this occasion.
The 1957 Dodge shown was a bit of an oddity. It was a model meant for export, the 'Kingsway.' What made it unusual in the US was that the rear was that of a 1957 Plymouth! It was originally ordered for overseas use but plans changed, so it was held here in the US for my dad to to pick up at the embarkation point in San Francisco.
When I was much older, my mom told me that because this was configured in this way and with the 'Kingsway' emblem, there were occasions in which a stranger would ask my dad if he was from Canada. Because my dad was coincidentally raised in Vancouver, BC, sometimes his thought was that perhaps the person was someone he might have known. But apparently it wasn't uncommon for Chrysler Corporation to sell such Dodge/Plymouth fusion models in Canada, and some in the past were named 'Kingsway' just like this one. Thus those friendly questions arose because of the rare southern California appearance of this unusual Dodge+Plymouth "hybrid"!
Dodge L600 cabover flatbed truck. The tilting cab utilized the forward body of Dodge’s A-100 vans of the same era.
Though now retired after a career of hard work, it still has the appearance of standing with dignity among the simple and natural surroundings in Jerome, Arizona at Gold King Mine & Ghost Town. Though now destined to spend its years in the elements indefinitely, the galvanized steel body will help assure a fairly long existence.
Happy Truck Thursday!
Here's another view, this one in color of the Dodge Power Wagon depicted in my photo a few days ago.
Post World War 2 model truck featured 4 wheel drive and a no-nonsense brawny appearance.
Sheree is off teaching a class. I am sitting here, pushing pixels around. (We all must have a skill...)
I am looking at this close-up shot of a Dodge from 1934 and doing the math. This car is over 75 years old...and it' lives in the front yard somewhere in Shelby Montana.
I have concluded that Montana-ummm-ites allow all their vehicles to roll into the front yard until they rust and die. But there was something different about this one.
Sheree had taken great pains to photograph it the previous day...but I was working on something else. It made no impression on me.
"Besides..." I thougth cleverly, "I have like eight and a half million shots of old cars. Do I really need eight million five hundred thousand and one?
Then I got closer to the car and started thinking about the kind of crap I always think about when in the presence of an old vehicle.
"Who rode in this thing? Mobsters or farmers or both? What did it look like when it first rolled off the lot? Did families take long vacations in a world long gone in this car?"
Then I saw the logo. It said "Dodge Brothers." Huh? I am not a car guy. (I remind you that I once attempted to fix a car that wouldn't "go" by shoving a sock into something that looked like a carburetor...which led to much merriment when the guys at the garage saw it...) But I don't ever remember hearing of a car referred to as having been built by the Dodge Brothers.
So here it is. Who says I don't share with others?
