4/17: Still digitizing slides (~3K). Then prints (~6K). And still doing long walks.
Today I started digitizing my mother’s slides, prints, and films. It’s going to be a lengthy and emotional project; I’ve already discovered images I’ve never seen before. Given the amount of content I have, I expect I’ll be heads-down for a few weeks. Fortunately my mom was very organized. I am as well. I’m a GTD person, for those who know.

Photography is not always fun. There are drudge tasks that would make a scullery maid run like hell.
I've shot thousands of photos on film and have half as many slides. That means in order to make prints, I have to resurrect my darkroom OR "digitize" those slides and negatives. It is a slow process. If they make something in the future to just dump them all in and out they come digitized in a file . . . I will buy it.
Meanwhile, I plug away, little by little, neg by neg and suspect that I will never get it all done by my time on Earth is over.

There are some cameras without which life would not be complete (it seems).
My own current personal list is the: Hasselblad SWC, Plaubel Makina, Canomatic, Tessina, Voigtlander Brillant V6, Ricoh GR1v, Luftwaffe Leica IIIc, and a dream Linhof kit.
Fortunately, I can subsume some of these desires by botanizing histories and making designs.
In this design, the Linhof kit must be a "wow" as there is a very slim chance of this design ever being built, so I can be as extreme as possible.
Which is also characteristic of the subject of this homage, Jean Cocteau who designed churches in addition to all the art that he made.
I was making notes in a cafe not far from the Cathedral St. John the Divine, one of my favorite places in this world, when it occurred to me that the large format Technika is worthy to be made into a place of worship.
Many years ago, all that was necessary to form a church was a
tax id number and some furniture for assembly.
I'm not making any references to historical church architecture in this design.
The requirement is solely that it be a functional sanctified space.
This extremely high-quality camera more than fulfills these requirements. Since I will digitize it, the actual space needed for the optics is much smaller than the bellows space. It's the focal length that's the vital factor, nothing else.
Perhaps the simple function of the camera is subsumed now by a set of complicating elements, yet this recalls the artistic habits of the very eccentric Cocteau.
Some technical features:
1. a recessed and removable chamber within the actual Linhof body will allow a dust-free enclosure for picture taking that I can remove when setting up the camera in "church" mode.
2. the bellows is either modified or adjusted (this portion of my design is incomplete here) so it can become the shape of an auditorium or concert space (with bellows extended it is almost a shoebox---the perfect kind of acoustic space for a concert hall according to the architect Rem Koolkass). I've an idea of making a triangular structure that will either be incorporated with the bellows or be placed underneath it. Either way, part of the bellows will have to be modified, and it won't have to be lightproof for the sake of the optics but for the sake of making the space dramatic for the effect of the light so it is an architectural concern, not an optical one at all.
3. The triangular base mentioned above would house a small wireless Bluetooth speaker and an incense burning element, allowing for both music and space cleansing for worship.
4. The chamber, when lifted out of the camera, allows for an auditorium space as was mentioned above. However the extra space around this chamber area would also have two choir lofts for Evensong as is shown in the sectionals on the drawing.
5. the space is also sanctified by a Procession of Relics, crossing deftly between quite a number of faiths. For example, Buddhism has relics and relic tours also. Wouldn't it be something if memento-relics of famous artists were to be included in this procession?
6. to accommodate a digital camera, a custom made Linhof back will be lined with leather to look exactly like a typical Linhof accessory. This back will have a port door typical of early cameras (kodak) that used these portholes to access the camera lens for cleaning.
7. a second twin custom made Linhof back will also have porthole door, but this one will function as the entrance to the place of worship. It will be made of iron, and will have a floating arched stairway that extends out of the back of the camera. This stairway, made out of balsa (to simulate bamboo) can be taken apart for easy storage inside the accesory camera back.
8. The Linhof viewfinder is modified with a 'Cocteau' viewfinder which has motifs reminiscent of his graphic designs
(this viewfinder will have an upload of its own, coming out soon).
This Cocteau Viewfinder has a self-contradicting element: you can look through it from both ends, mirroring the similarly contradicting design of the camera body (the traditional image paths have been reversed). Hopefully, it adds an enigmatic quality, which is my design intention.
9. The lens is taken off and replaced by a cathedral window ( when in "church" mode) which will have a cross-shaped light bar. This opening for the light starts out very narrow (Laser-cut) and opens gradually by small fractions of a degree to give a mysterious feeling of light when seen in near total darkness allowing for meditation, solitude and communion with the Divine.
10. this model Linhof IV will be covered in beautiful red leather, a traditional color of religious passion.
11. a traditional large-format View-camera dark cloth in purple with the very beautiful Linhof crest motif sewn on the back is provided, not for picture taking (although it could be used as such) but more importantly so that the worshiper can take in the religious experience vicariously.
So a poetic element of this design is that the main camera lens is not used to allow the image to traditionally enter the camera, but this lens opening becomes a Cathedral window through which worshipers look out, reversing the traditional space of the camera. Paradoxically, the main entrance to the camera is instead from the rear, made prominent by an arched floating staircase. Worshipers ceremoniously climb the long curved staircase and enter an auditorium and descend down towards the single cathedral window, which lets the light in by a simple cross. On the sectional drawing for the viewfinder there are other graphic designs drawn by Cocteau which can substitute for the main cathedral window's cross symbol, like Cocteau's signature star.
Parts of this design concept was made after the architect Tadao Ando, whose designs were applied but done with the camera as the main structure.
This camera can therefore be used as a theater or church or concert hall (via an iPhone Bluetooth connection).
As my original intent was to use it as a church, the music I intended for it was William Byrd's Masses for three voices (recording by the Alfred Deller consort)
As I have noted above, this design is not complete and is left in an extreme state which covers more possibilities without being fully resolved. As such, it has more poetic potential, honoring its main subject the poet Jean Cocteau.
This drawing is dedicated to my great friend Mike from Queens, Nyc. who has been my optics guru.

Another from the backlog of prints I've been digitizing lately. Steps from the Saginaw River Rear Range Lighthouse in Bay City MI. My wife was working a project in Bay City many years ago and I drove up for a visit one long weekend. The lighthouse was on the property of where she was working and was usually closed to the public, but she got permission for me to get in and photograph. For this photograph, I managed to set up the tripod and stand in the window well while pointing the camera down the winding stairs. I was careful, but still managed to get the tip of one of the tripod legs in the frame and have to crop it out when making a print.
