Taken from the Marin Headlands in what is usually the "Golden Hour" before sunset. However, the sun reflecting off the the marine layer gave the shot a pink hue instead. The marine layer is also why the southern end of the bridge is the only portion being lit by the sun.
This was the first shot taken with my Toyo Field 45CF.

I met Carlo a few months ago as I was looking for some honey and I discovered this passionate beekeeper lived only half a mile from my home.
As we got to know each other over time, I found out that this amazing 84 years old was a true genius in building anything out of wood and metal in his well-equipped workshops.
I asked him to help me tame the biggest and heaviest lens I own, so that I could finally mount it onto a 4x5 camera and give it some use.
A few years ago I actually devised a way to mount this beastly lens, but I was never entirely satisfied with the results, as they lacked the solidity such a heavy piece of glass demands.
Carlo was able to quickly solder together a metal cone, permanently attached to a clone of a Plaubel lens board (which he cut and carved by hand !) where the heavy 12 Inch Aero Ektar f2.5lens would snugly fit.
The lens was to be further supported by a metal bracket that Carlo created, inspired by a plastic telescope lens bracket I had showed him earlier, but much, much sturdier than the original one.
Now came the shutter: we opted to drill a hole in a pine wooden board the size of the large packard shutter we were going to use (1/10th of a second maximum speed !!!).
To attach the “shutter board” to the lens Carlo hand-carved a slot of exactly the same diameter of the lens front element rim on the back. Once the rim slid into this groove, a couple of elastic bands were sufficient to stabilize and firmly attach the entire contraption to the camera body.
The heavy 12Inch Aero Ektar Lens can be a wonderful tool, giving you a very Shallow Depth Of Field and a Creamy Bokeh at a great Focal Length for portraiture (at 12 Inch FL this lens does cover 8x10 although I prefer using it on 4x5 and even 6x9, something I am able to do on the old Plaubel Supra camera by just changing the back).
It’s just that the lens is freakin’ big and heavy to mount anywhere but on a military aircraft!
Carlo was able to find a really good and elegant solution (in a retro-post-industrial style) that I truly love !!
My heartfelt THANK YOU to this wonderful, genial, inventor friend of mine!
Oregon's Three Sisters come to life during a Stunning Sunrise over beautiful Scott Lake. I have been to Scott Lake countless times over the past few years in hopes of capturing an image like this one. I've always loved the composition of Oregon's Three Sisters at Scott Lake but the light there can be fickle. On the morning that I captured this image, I had the Lake all to myself and it was blissfully wind-free, allowing for an outstanding reflection of the Three Sisters Mountains. There had been a fresh snow in the mountains the night before and light clouds were swirling about. Fortunately, the clouds cleared from the summits of the mountains just minutes before the sunrise warmed to the tones you see in this image. I captured this image with my trusty 4x5 film camera, as I do with all of my fine art prints. The wait between that morning and when my transparencies returned from processing was absolutely excruciating! Luckily, the prints have turned out as beautifully as the transparencies I captured that morning.

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 !!
