This is the Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in Stouchburg, PA, taken in June of 2012, when Gaia and I were back East to visit the relatives. It was good to get out on occasion for some pictures.
Many of the older buildings in this part of pennsylvania were built with that light, gray stone, and sometimes with the limestone for accent as is seen here (at least, I think it's limestone). They really are beautiful, but they are still being torn down when they should be preserved.

As I lined up this first shot, I couldn't help but notice the scraggly looking pine sticking up above the other. I couldn't help but think of the Frederick Varley painting Stormy Weather, Georgian Bay.

I bought a new camera today. It needs a little work. The lens brass has a ding on the front, and it's missing a piece of hardware on the front standard to secure the lens plate. The good thing is the leather bellows is light tight, and it has no termite damage. A little love and it will be making images again. What should I name her?
Strobist: AB800 with HOBD-W camera left. Gold reflector camera right. Triggered with Cybersync.
This is the Cedar Creek Grist Mill near Woodland, Washington. It still functions as a mill on occasion, which is extremely awesome.
I finally bought a scanner capable of scanning 8x10 film, and this is the first sheet of film I scanned on it. It does a decent job, but I may want to calibrate it eventually.

I completed building a point and shoot large format camera from spare view camera parts. So, yes..., it's a Franken-camera, but with it I am able to shoot 4x5, Instant film (Fuji FP 100b and 3000b), and 6x12 cm panoramic on 120 roll film. The lens is a 75mm Nikkor, which is about the same angle of view as a 24mm on 35mm.
I built this to take with me on an upcoming trip to California where I really don't want to lug the Linhof around with me. I also built this camera to take with me and shoot in the urban environment when a traditional view camera would prove challenging.
The camera is most;y built from spare Cambo view camera parts, which are easy to find used, the lens cone is a flipped Toyo recessed board, the helicid was ordered from China, however, any hellcoid (pentax 67 works really well) that is large enough to accommodate the lens can be used. The view finder is a 21mm Zeiss finder. The total cost excluding the finder and lens was about $200.00, which is about a third of the cost of a Cambo Wide, which this camera resembles.

This is from last week's Columbia Gorge Trip. I finally had a day off, and was dying to get out and do some photography. Gaia and I drove out to the Mosier area, which is 6 miles past Hood River, and visited Rowena Crest. I saw the light on this hillside on the way back down the hill, so I stopped to take a picture. I used my ancient Cook Anastigmat: an uncoated brass lens that I picked up in 2011. It's an excellent lens to use when a modern lens would give too much contrast.
Camera: Super Speed Graphic 4x5.
Lens: 8" Cooke Anastigmat.
Film: Kodak T-Max 100 developed in PMK Pyro.

The camera was manufactured by the Brand Camera Company of Los Angeles, California, c. 1947. By 1948, the camera maker was selling another press-view camera marketed as the Brand 17.
The owner of the camera and lens, my brother-in-law Philip Groelz, is selling it as-is. It comes with a Polaroid Land Film Holder # 500 (don't get too excited).
Missing is a locking screw for one of the front extension rails. It shouldn't be hard to find a substitute. Philip also owns (and selling) a 90mm Schneider Angulon and a huge U.S. Navy surplus aerial reconnaissance lens. From what I have read, the camera does not work well with wide-angle lenses. I can forward any reasonable offers to him.
Serial No.: camera 933; lens 1041

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
Aquesta cà mera tipus "tailboard" o "reisekamera" com en diuen en alemany, de format 13x18 cm, és d'un model força estandard i molt practic. Per això la vaig escollir. Però a sobre té la particularitat de conservar la plaqueta del fabricant i a sobre un objectiu a joc també amb el nom del fabricant. Això la fa especialment atractiva.
Aquesta reisekamera, doncs, fou fabricada i venguda per Konrad G. Seitz a Nuremberg, a finals del s. XIX o principis del XX. Per raons que detallaré, crec que data d'entorn el 1895. Encara fa més gracia que el negoci fotografic de la familia Seitz encara existeix avui en dia, encara al costat de la St. Lorenzkirche: Photo Seitz GmbH.
L'objectiu és força interesant i representatiu del seu moment. Tot ell lacat en negre i amb detalls cromats, s'allunya ja de la estètica de llauto que va dominar els objectius fotografics del s. XIX. Tot i portar el mateix nom del fabricant i venedor de la cà mera, dubto molt que també fos fabricat a Nuremberg. El text del objectiu, parcialment en lletra gòtica, diu:
"Konrad G. Seitz, Nürnberg,
Universal Aplanat, Extra Rapid, 16981".
La clau aquÃ, es que si busqueu "Universal Aplanat Extra Rapid", veureu que hi ha molts objectius identics, amb el mateix lacat negre i text similar PERO amb noms i ciutats diferents. La majoria d'Alemania i Austria, però també de França i Catalunya i tot. De fet, vaig trobar un article sobre dos objectius com aquest però indicant dues botigues de Barcelona. Gracies a aquests noms podien saber que es tractava de objectius fabricats just a finals del s. XIX (quan estan documentats aquells negocis barcelonins). Per això crec que aquest objectiu data del entorn del 1895. Tant pel nº de serie anterior als mencionats objectius com per tenir diafragma amb "stops" senzillament numerats 1-2-3-4 etc, i no f8-f11-f16-f22...
No sé on es fabricaren aquests Universal Aplanats, però tot apunta a Alemania, tant per la distribució com per l'us de lletra gòtica en el text. Deurien ser fets per encarrec d'aquells que els venien amb el seu nom inscrit, i obviament això sembla indicar optiques més aviat barates. Si un objectiu Zeiss, Vöigtlander o Dallmeyer, calia pagar més.
Entre els que he trobat per internet, n'hi ha que diuen "Rectilineaire Extra Rapide" en comptes de "Universal Aplanat", però vol dir bà sicament el mateix i en el mateix tipus de lletra. Els nº de serie van des del 9093 fins al 19920. I especialment interessant, els noms dels "distribuidors" inclouen: Stolze&Stuck (Hamburg), Felix Neumann, Adler&Cie., Josef Wahaus (tots Viena), Alb Glöck (Karlsruhe), Gaertig&Thieman (Görlitz), Falz&Werner (Leipzig), Soennecker&Co., Optischer Anstalt, Otto Wernhard (tots de Munic), Gertrude Junghans (Dresden), M. Grabner (Graz), A. Scheller (Münster), Hess&Sattler (Wiesbaden), Bernard Moock (Berlin), W. Kengott (Paris), i Vda. de F. Rius i Hijos de A. Busquets y Duran (tots dos de Barcelona).
Aquesta cà mera la vaig comprar perque anava en conjunt amb 3 portaplaques de tipus "bookform", perfectament utilitzables per a fer plaques de col·lodió. I funciona molt bé!

==============================================
This large format tailboard camera or "reisekamera" as they say in German, format 13x18 cm, is a fairly standard early XX Century model and very practical, as in folding position the ground glass is protected. That’s why I chose her. But on top of that it has the particularity of keeping the manufacturer's plate and even a matching lens also with the manufacturer's name. This makes her especially attractive.
This reisekamera, therefore, was manufactured and sold by Konrad G. Seitz in Nuremberg, at the end of the XIX or early XX Centuries. For reasons I will detail, I think it dates back to c.1895. It is even more interesting to know that the photographic business of the Seitz family still exists today, next to the St. Lorenzkirche, in Nuremberg: it's Photo Seitz GmbH, in Pfannenschmiedsgasse.
The lens is quite interesting and representative of his time. All lacquered in black and with chrome details, it is already moving away from the brass aesthetic that dominated the photographic lenses of the XIX Century. Despite bearing the same name as the camera manufacturer and seller, I highly doubt it was also made in Nuremberg. The text of the objective, partially in gothic letter, says:
"Konrad G. Seitz, Nürnberg,
Universal Aplanat, Extra Rapid, 16981 ".
The key here, is that if you search for "Universal Aplanat Extra Rapid", you will see that there are many identical lenses, with the same black lacquer and similarly styled text BUT with different names and cities. Some also have Waterhouse stops, others, diaphragms. Most indicate cities of Germany and Austria, but also France and even Barcelona, in Catalonia. In fact, I found an article (in Catalan) about two lenses like this but named after two retailers in Barcelona, long gone ("A. Busquets y Duran", and "Vda. de F. Rus"). Thanks to these names they could know that these were lenses manufactured just at the end of the s. XIX (when those Barcelona businesses are documented). That is why I think this lens dates from around 1895, just a few years before the others. Both for the serial number lower than those lenses and for having a diaphragm with "stops" simply numbered 1-2-3-4 etc, and not f8-f11-f16-f22. ..
I don't know where these lacquered Universal Aplanats were made, but everything points to Germany, both for the distribution and the use of Gothic lettering in the text. They probably were made by order by those who sold them with their name inscribed on them, and obviously this seems to indicate rather cheap optics.
Among the ones I've found on the internet, some say "Rectilineaire Extra Rapide" instead of "Universal Aplanat", but it means basically the same and in the same font. Serial numbers range from 9.093 to 19.920. And especially interestingly, the names of the "distributors" include: Stolze&Stuck (Hamburg), Felix Neumann, Adler&Cie., Josef Wahaus (all Vienna), Alb Glöck (Karlsruhe), Gaertig&Thieman (Görlitz), Falz&Werner (Leipzig), Soennecker&Co., Optischer Anstalt, Otto Wernhard (all from Munich), Gertrude Junghans (Dresden), M. Grabner (Graz), A. Scheller (Münster), Hess&Sattler (Wiesbaden), Bernard Moock ( Berlin), W. Kengott (Paris), and Vda. de F. Rius, Hijos de A. Busquets y Duran (both of Barcelona). Somebody should do a historical research about this.
I bought this camera because it came with 3 "bookform" type plate holders, perfectly usable for making collodion plates. And it works great!
Originally known as Rosebank, but became better known as the Kerosene Castle. The home of Richard Shaw Wood betrays the industrial past of Oakville. Wood established one of the largest coal refineries for the production of Kerosene on the Sixteen Mile Creek and across he built a mansion for himself and his family. Known as Rosebank, Grand Old Lady, or the Keroscene Castle. The Shaw Refinery operated until 1866 when an explosion and fire destroyed the plant. The Creek even caught fire as Kerosene floated ontop of the water. In 1980 it became home to MacLaughlan College.

A DIY project I´ve been at for the past couple of weeks. The bare bones 600SE body has been lying around for a while, originally bought for a Super Wide project.
The camera is simple enough, does not fold, and does not have a geared focusing rack. Just push and pull, though it does have focus lock.
Has front movements only (understandably). Shift, swing, tilt and rise. Fall too, but only if you also tilt.
Designed for smaller (in size) lenses, so no large rear elements here. Will work with 114mm and up to 175 or so, though no movements to speak of before 127-135mm. Seen here with Tominon 127mm f4.7
The Polaroid 600SE fasteners will allow all sorts of backs. Polaroid 100 type of course, but also 120 up to 6x9, and even 4x5 (though not with full coverage)
Hopefully I can afford a proper focusing back for it at some time. As it is I have made a ground glass insert for a CB103 back, which works, but not overly well.
Bellows work, though could be prettier. At least now I know what I did wrong, if I ever get round to making a new set.
Quite compact without back and carrying handle. Less than 130mm x 135mm x 160mm. And very light. Used as little materials as possible, and as light as possible. Weighs 840 grammes net, 1450 with Polaroid back and Tominon lens in Copal press shutter.
All work has been done with hand tools, and a drill.

I recently stumbled upon a new place to take pictures. The area around Mt. Hood is dripping with moss, and is mostly a wonderful mess. I like that. It's so full of decay that the ground there eats tea leaves in about 15 minutes.
I had a 8x10 camera there in January 2021, and this is the result. It is featured in a new post about my ongoing darkroom saga on my website
This picture is unlikely to look good on a small screen. The nuance will be lost. It's better viewed on a computer monitor.
