I stumbled across this gnarled and weathered stump whilst searching for lichens to photograph. My initial thought was to use black and white film. However, as I studied the composition, I was not convinced that a black and white shot would do justice to the subtle shades of blue, a result of the subject being in shadow, lit only by the open sky. My choice of colour film was either Velvia RVP 50 or Provia 100. In the end I decided to use Provia for its reciprocity characteristics and more subtle colour palette. Composing and focusing to ensure optimal sharpness across the frame proved to be quite a challenge because of the relief of the stump and in the end it took nearly a hour to get to the final composition. The original transparency is approximately 1/2 life size reproduction.
My first attempt to process my own sheet film. While I have a image I don't like the results. I believe I have a light leak and need to take care of that before I waste any more film.
New York City Easter Parade 2018
The NYC Easter Parade is a great opportunity to do portraits of fabulously dressed people in the street.
Earlier today, sporting a handheld 1930's Graflex RB large format camera and a bunch of film holders I enjoyed myself and made some new friends...
Here's some of the results, just out of the darkroom….
Happy Easter to all !!
As I was about to take a picture of the person using an old large format camera with hood and black & white film, a lady with her two children and dog walked in front of this person and took the same picture of the waterfall using her cell phone.
- New and old way to take pictures in the same photo, and I only had seconds to take this photo before the lady left. The man under the hood was still setting up his picture.
This was taken at the lowest of the Triple Falls in Dupont State Forest, North Carolina.
Here is another picture of this person taking notes about the photo he just took: www.flickr.com/photos/31155442@N03/46178767105/in/datepos...

This is not my camera, It's one of my friend's collection and I thought it's really one of the most interesting and oldest antique camera I ever seen
The view camera is a type of camera first developed in the era of the Daguerreotype (19th Century) and still in use today, though with many refinements. It comprises a flexible bellows which forms a light-tight seal between two adjustable standards, one of which holds a lens, and the other a viewfinder or a photographic film holder.[2]
The bellows is a flexible, accordion-pleated box, which encloses the space between the lens and film, and has the ability to flex to accommodate the movements of the standards.[3]
The front standard is a board at the front of the camera which holds the lens and, usually, a shutter.
At the other end of the bellows, the rear standard is a frame which holds a ground glass, used for focusing and composing the image before exposure, which is replaced by a holder containing the light-sensitive film, plate, or image sensor for exposure. The front and rear standards can move in various ways relative to each other, unlike most other types of camera, giving control over focus, depth of field and perspective.
The camera must have some means of support, usually provision for mounting it on a tripod.

The Devils Golf Course is a large salt pan in Death Valley. It was named after a 1934 NPS guide book that said, "Only the devil would play golf on it's surface". Studies suggest that the salt and gravel beds extend to a depth of more than 1,000 feet.
That is a lot of salt...In fact you could get hypertension just looking at all this salt!

on a photowalk with Dr. Birdcage in San Francisco in Chinatown where Birdcage wanted to use her large format to take some pictures of a restaurant front with hanging ducks and such. the restauranteers came out to peer at the camera with curiosity and then i went inside to get their contact information so that Jen could send them pictures, and in the process, they decided to commission me to take professional pictures of their chairs! i'm not kidding.
This Saturday I have two pieces from my Fragmentation of Language series in the MOPLA/Lucie Foundation exhibit “Analogue Portrait Project.” This piece as well as a piece I did of Andrew will be displayed. Both of these pieces are shot on 4x5 sheet film and made in camera.

Arca-Swiss 4x5 F-Line & Universalis hybrid, Rodenstock APO-Sironar S 150mm, Fujichrome Provia 100f 4x5
Taken with a 4x5 pinhole camera I recently picked up on ebay. Here is the camera in action (from the rear) and here it is from the front.
Not sure what the hair/dust is on the negative, and some of the shots I took had a light leak (like this one), not sure exactly what caused it.
Speed graphic bed.
Graflex Crown Graphic Front Standard.
Graflex Crown Graphic Bellows.
Pacemaker body.
Have aquired a number of parts from around the world to put together a new field camera.
As you see from the parts this is a hybrid.
Got the two final parts this morning and put them all together make sure they fit and work, all is well.
The proper build is yet to be done. As you can see there is no Kalart rangefinder, view finder, or sports finder, the purpose to keep weight down.
I will use the ground glass back for focus.
There are holes ect where the straps, rangefinder and other accessories have been attached, So my intention is to build a new body box, I have some nice pieces of Oak and Walnut in the garage just crying to be used on a job like this.
Focusing on the Comète is done with 2x linear ways and 1x ball screw. This is a a classic design in precision linear motion.
The linear ways are 2x IKO LWL9 bought for US$20 each on ebay. Great bargain, they are bloody expensive new!
The miniature ball-screw is a M-ISNF0602-250-C5 bought new from Screw Technology Co.,Ltd, Suzhou,China bought for US$180 . It is a bit pricy but it has been made at the dimension of the camera. They have also a corrosion resistant option but it is more expensive (www.screwtech.cn)
