while i was taking this picture, with the camera dark cloth over my head, someone snuck up to my bike across the street and left a note scrawled on a napkin calling me an a__hole, and then disappeared without a trace. this was on treasure island, practically deserted. really creepy. but i like the picture.
From Sunday's Live Draw event. Was doing instant oilgraph portraits and these were the negs that came from them. I mounted and painted the polaroids and either sold them outright or put them out for auction.
Most of these were portraits of the patrons at the event.
Haven't shot 4x5 in years. It's like shooting with a cow, but I began to get my stride soon. I wasn't going to add any of these actually since it's not my usual thing and a bit more static that I am used to, but I figured why not.

Update: I just did a quick search on Martin's Beach & it looks like it is for sale. See article here. It's now $10 to park but I guess there is no access anymore since they closed it. Bummer.
CAMBO 45. Polaroid 54.
Just my first attempts into large format. Excuse the nonsense of the image itself. It was just something I had around...
Anyway, just my first tilt and shift stuff...

The old, rusty rollerblades of my older sisters, lying in a wooden box from my shed, untouched for decades.
My four year old son has taken a keen interest in the construction of this project, asking me every morning if I've done anything new to the camera the night before (after he'd gone to bed).
Since he's so interested, I decided we'd paint it together. I had to draw the line though when he asked to paint the inside.
I've got at least one light leak I know of, due to shoddy workmanship. It's in the corner of the rear, where it meets the middle section, which makes it harder to fix. The area slides, so I can't just throw putty over it or something like that. I think some felt folded over as a sort of curtain will keep it out.
Not shown, a 'lens board' with a 1/2" hole in it, which will be for a pinhole. Once I've got it tested as a working pinhole camera - a heavily over-built pinhole camera! - I will build a lens or two for it. I've already ordered some lens elements from a surplus optical supply company.
And those finger prints on the front are sawdust from subsequent work on the plate holder, and they brush right off. We're not THAT sloppy. the pink paint on the front however is another story...

Here is Mr. Wong with his modified monster of a machine.
He adapted his large-format lenses by lining the mounts with strips of plastic from bottle caps. Ingenuity, you say?
