*I am posting four cabinet cards that are new to the photostream and one that I am bringing to the top. I am calling them "Arts & Letters". The group includes cards related to photography, sculpture, painting, music, and books. Since this is one of my favorite cabinet cards related to photography I decided to bring it to the top of my stream as part of the group.
This cabinet card shows a mustached man with a folding camera in a studio setting. My impression is that he brought his prized, and perhaps new, camera and tripod to the studio to be recorded.
I will continue to upload selections of our photographs of photographers with cameras. Please check back in a few days. Until then you can see more of our photographs of photographers at:

The camera club have eventually found something to photograph. Well nearly everyone:-) Is it a bird? is it a fish? is it a plain................... Nope, it's Fred's packed lunch, floating down the river.
I am not in a Camera Club.
Shot half a standard 35mm frame. You got up to 72 shots per roll of film Great for vacations back in the day. Only drawback was that the view was always in portrait, not landscape orientation. Fine for photos of one person, but you tended to turn the camera sideways more often than a regular 35. Very small size, nice attention to details.

Produced from the original negative in my collection.
Many have asked us what Cooper does on a typical day. Easier than explaining it, I thought I'd show you. Yesterday Cooper let me follow him around with the video camera while he took photos with his collar camera.

A matchbox camera I finished tonight (2/17/07). Built following the plans from alspix stuff. Hopefully I will be able to get a few shots out of this little camera.
this was my first time exposure..about 30minute drive from the mall to home. with the the camera taped to my vw's windshield. kinda amazed the photo lab guy
15mm matchbox pinhole
A small falling plate camera for stereo pairs.
The negatives were loaded into holders fed into the rear of the camera. After an exposure is made, the holders are released to swing down underneath the others, allowing the next frame to be exposed.
The small metal stereoscope will hold a stereo pair of images and focus is achieved by moving the holder back and forth.

Like so many of you we are caught up by cameras, many old, and if we can afford it, some pretty incredible new.
Anything photographic calls to me. The camera on the right is a deco film family camera from the 20's the one in the middle is a recent purchase and is a dainty camera called The Premoette Jr. made by Rochester optical before it became Kodak in 1913. The one on the left is a 4x5 Wollensak Optical wooden field camera, made july 23, 1901 (who puts dates on cameras now?) I have the wooden film holders for it and intend to take it out and use it one day.
Trying to catch up on photos but still consumed with Kaylee's potty training and other house keeping. Here's a quick shot of a vintage camera from our collection found at a garage sale up in Washington.
Happy Cliche Saturday!!
It's a USSR antique camera , a Fed 3 . It's from the year 1963 , though i'm not sure because i could not find a exact year just a general one . Though i don't think i'm going to use it for my photography class ,because i like the Zenit 11 better i think . I got this from my Grandma she was on vacation in Zhamblye for a month or so . She got me it because i asked her to get me a old Film SLR , a antique wolf figurine and some Turkish coffee( i like coffee and i coudn't think of anything else for my Grandma to get me when she asked ) . She could not find anything with wolves though she did get me some antique figurine something with a fish i think , my grandma didn't have enough time to unpack everything yet .I think i'll try out my new camera later with my own film , because the Fed is different from my Zenit . What i kinda surprises me is that i never thought i would have 2 old film SLRs from the USSR :)

Canon Sure Shot WP-1 35mm film camera and Olympus Tough TG-5 digital camera at the XXX Root Beer Drive-In in Issaquah, Washington
my newest find from ebay - Mamiya 645AF. only a couple of years ago it was worth thousands of pounds:-) since the arrival of full frame DSLRs, these became obsolete as a first choice camera for wedding or fashion snappers and now it's the best time to aquire one. pity it isn't AFD, but i don't think i'll be able to afford a digital back for medium format anyway. i'd prefer to spend the money on AF lenses, as apart from 80mm AF i've got manual ones only.
Wotancraft's Traveler's Notebook and City Explorer Camera Bag Review - Part 1
Our job to find great stuffs from all over the world doesn't stop at product level, I believe understanding the concept and stories behind is far more important than product features. Only through digging deeper will I be able to bring true benefits to end users, in the process of doing this I learned a lot and makes my job an adventurous one. It is exactly this practice which sets us apart from a typical retail chain store.
This review is separated into two parts. Part 1 is a story in this post, Part 2 is a product review in the next post.
I first found Wotancraft from random searching on the net a year or so before, then I popped into a great store in Hong Kong called Annie Barton and found their products there. Admiring the quality and aesthetics I grew interest in the brand, I was scared away by the price though. So despite having the feeling that those bags suit my needs and in styles I adore, I found myself staring at them repeatedly on the net and never got myself one. What stopped me from getting one? The price tag and lack of knowledge about Wotancraft's true attention to details. Annie Barton told me each one of the bags were made by hand by those artisans in Taiwan, I couldn't believe it, no way, the bags are so well made I thought they were produced by professional mass producing bag maker. Judging from the details, each model requires literally hundreds of manufacturing processes and it was not possible to be made by just a few persons by hands. The story turned out entirely true when I got a chance to visit Taipei 20 days ago.
On the day I arrived Taipei, before other business engagements I shot right away to the Wotancraft showroom/shop. It was a huge disparity between what's inside the place and everything else surrounding it! Inside a dim florescent lit office building full of local trading businesses with zero taste and style decorations, I was still assuming Wotancraft a corporation you know, but once I entered the showroom, everything changed.
Surrounded by cozy fixtures made from aged wood and pig iron, products made from leather and canvas, I immediately felt homey. One side of the store was an open shelf displaying full product range and prototypes, while the other side is a service counter full of custom made leather straps for Panerai watches. I picked up the City Explorer series of bags and started examining each one of them until a friendly staff came out of the backyard and explained to me product details.
Soon I was unpacking my camera bag and started trying out almost every model possible. I guess camera bag to a guy is like fashion to a girl, you can spend hours enjoying the selection process in a setting like that. The staff noticed my Traveler's Notebook and some of my leather craft stuffs like camera case and straps. "James have the same notebook! He made crazy customization of it." That's when real conversation began.
By then I realized that each one of their bags were literally made by their own hands. Four artisans made up the entire Wotancraft company, the two I met in store were among them. It was not a corporation I presumed before, just a small bunch of people doing everything by themselves. Time to leave for a business engagement, hungered for more stories, I used Paypal to pay for the City Explorer 002 Ranger bag, left the showroom and determined to contact James about his Traveler's Notebook and come back a few days later. During my initial stay at the showroom, there were constant influx of Panerai fans looking for unique leather straps, but I'm not gonna cover that part of the story here.
3 days later, after a few email exchanges I finally met James, the soul behind Wotancraft. The company was created out of his pure passion in photography and watches, despite working as a bio-chemist after his graduation, he started to make his first prototype camera bag 5 years ago. Not satisfied with camera bags with trivial features and ugly looks, he explored different forms and materials and came up with a bag he would use. He was kind enough to show me all the thoughts he put into this City Explorer 002 Ranger bag, comparing it to his first prototype. I will cover the details in Part 2 in the next post.
Let's talk about James' Traveler's Notebook. In a typical Traveler's Notebook show me yours and I'll show you mine fashion, we exchanged our usage patterns. His cover is not the original but one made by himself, a very thoughtful implementation. There are two layers of leathers, a thicker one forms the shape while the outer thinner one gives its distinct Wotancraft look.
The thin leather on the cover is the same material James uses in his City Explorer series of camera bags. Stitched together on 3 sides, the notebook cover has an opening on one side doubling the cover as a pocket by itself. To increase the pocket size, James relocated the elastic string attachment point from the middle of the back to the edge, creating an inner space large enough for his stationery stuffs.
As a master of customization, he of course couldn't settle with a bookmark without his very own Wotancraft branded charm and leather tag. On typical day, James would use two types of notebooks inside - Traveler's Notebook lightweight paper for note taking, sketch paper for sketching. Inspecting his TN, I found inspirations common to creative people, not only would he take notes in meticulous details, he sketches out architectural structures purely out of his head, perhaps this keen practice is his way of precipitating his creativity into reality.
James' TN is so far the best Traveler's Notebook mod I've ever seen, functional and pleasing. I've got to make one myself someday :) Stay tuned for Part 2.

The top camera is an Agfa Ansco Viking folding camera.
The middle camera is a Holga wide pinhole camera.
The bottom camera is a Zero Image 69 pinhole camera.
All three take medium format 120 roll film and are capable of producing 6x9cm images.
The Ansco only takes 6x9cm images.
The Holga takes 6x9cm or 6x6cm images.
The Zero takes 6x9cm, 6x6cm, or 6x4.5 images.
All three allow the user to see the exposure number through a red window on the back of the camera. The exposure numbers are written on the paper backing that protects the film from exposure to light coming through the red window. There are three sets of numbers printed on the paper backing. The numbers on the top are for 6x4.5 images. The numbers in the middle are for 6x6 images. The numbers on the bottom are for 6x9 images.
In spite of the directions of the arrow printed on the paper backing, the film winds from right to left for the Ansco and the Zero. For the Holga, the film winds from left to right. As a result, this poses a problem when using the numbers printed on the paper backing.
The Ansco has one red window located on the bottom of the camera back so it can read the eight numbers that indicate eight 6x9 shots per roll.
The Zero has three red windows. The top window is for reading the sixteen numbers that indicate the sixteen 6x4.5 shots per roll.
The middle window on the Zero is for reading the twelve numbers that indicate the twelve 6x6 shots per roll.
The bottom window on the Zero is for reading the eight numbers that indicate the eight 6x9 shots per roll.
The Holga has two red windows. The middle window is for reading the twelve numbers that indicate the twelve 6x6 shots per roll.
The Holga bottom window should read the eight numbers for the 6x9 images. However, for some reason, the Holga winds film in the opposite direction of the Ansco and the Zero. As a result, the numbers for the Holga are upside down. The bottom window for the Holga is actually reading the numbers for the 6x4.5 images. To correct for this mistake, the user can to use the bottom window but must use only the odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15) to count the eight 6x9 shots per roll.
The lens is excellent !
Review article about X-T10 my husband wrote in Japanese.
I took the photos of the camera for it.
I've been working on a curved plane pinhole camera to replace the first one I tried. This one has a curved back from laminated veneer to reduce overall size. the film mask is half of 4" steel tube I polished to a shine for less friction. I spent alot more time on this one making sure all the gaps are reduced to a minimum and surfaces that contact film are slick to reduce friction. The film spools sit on the black curve which is a plastic I laminated to the wood to also reduce friction.The top and bottom are 1/8" aluminum sheet which hold the back snug. The back will have a set of rollers attached similar to the Noblex which hold the film against the mask. If I have any patience left when it's done I'll add an additional pinhole to the top of the camera for a perpendicular effect similar to an anamorphic camera.
