This is version 2 of George - John (course lecturer) demonstrated how to use a different technique in Photoshop to give the image more punch. Full explanation on my blog
The first experiments with 35mm film sewn into 3.25x4.25 sheets. These were made with the help of nightvision goggles and a sewing machine.
With Jake Appelbaum and Mike Estee.
going through some old HDs I found a scan of my first ever shot on a large format camera, it was a synar.
I used to assist at this studio and in one of those lazy afternoon, no jobs in the horizon kinda feeling I was given green light to play around with the camera and shoot a few sheets!
good god, I dont remeber exactly when this photo was taken, soewhere before the digital photography boom!

The ring holding the speed escapement lifts out in one piece to reveal the shutter blades. This is handy, because reassembling speed escapement mechs is a TOTAL pain in the arse for someone, like me, who has pretty poor eyesight and an unsteady hand...
These need removing individually to reach the aperture blades.
Another test with a 305mm Ilex Acutar lens on my Kodak 2D 8x10 camera. Foma 100 film, Rodinal 1+50. The "scratch" on the left side is an artifact from my scanner.
The 4x5 model allows u to shoot pinhole shots with a normal film holder behind. The box that holds the pinhole camera is also a 6x8 pinhole camera.
this is a test shot for a (self) portrait i want to do next week. I'm going to add a light from the lower left i think to even out the shadows and detail somewhat, i want there to be shadows but nowhere near as harsh. I think a backlight may be necessary too. I know it's a little silly, but there's a reason behind it, i think it'll be clearer with the final image. I look pretty wrecked huh? :)

Ongoing design refinements for my lasercut 4x5 build. This will be cut from a single sheet of 6mm material before assembly. The final camera will have a rotating back with embedded DDS/groundglass holder along with full movements on the front standard.
