Admiring this super nice Empire State view camera by Rochester Optical while visiting another camera collector in Albuquerque, NM
We are photographing and researching items in our collection for the upcoming book and I do love the internet! We have had this woodcut of a Japanese woman being photographed for many years. Today I learned that it is by Yukawa Shodo from the series "Occupations for the Daughters of Merchants" c.1900.
Originally built as the Tudor-styled manor home of L-Col W.G. MacKendrick in 1922. The name Gairloch was given by Col. MacKendrick after a small Scottish town of the same name. Following the death of Col. MacKendrick, the estate was purchased by James Gairdner in 1960, who after his death, bequeathed the estate to the town of Oakville which established and still operates a gallery.

Unicolor C-41 chemistry
Ektar version of previously posted photo. To be honest, my personal preference is for the b&w.
I honestly was hoping for more than one working image out of my first group of four. But here we are, I assumed I had a little more forgiveness, but my assumption was for negative, not positive films. Either way, pretty happy how this frame turned out.

Salamander. Shot on a rail view camera outfitted with pinhole (I think...also did a lensed version). Lit with Tungsten. Salamander is plastic - I had to weight his head with lead pellets to keep the little bugger in place. Stuff at the bottom of the container is egg whites and honey. I sprinkled baking powder all over everything in the stead of dust. Used some retractable diffusion gizmo to blur edges during printing (I just had to use it on something!). Print split-toned in cool-mixed thiourea.
obviously a slew of technical issues here but I like to think of all the dust, light fog and poor exposure as just 1930's instagram.
Garden portrait of this very plastic camera, overall it is quite amusing to use it :-)

Dieses Objectiv hat eine feste Sonnenblende, die das Bild vignettiert durch Bewegungen der technischen Kamera. Doch erreicht das Schiften einen angenehmeren Blickwinkel. (Siehe hierzu im Gegensatz das voherige Photo)

This lens has a fixed suncap which causes vignetting by the movements of the technical camera. But shifting is much more successful than without.

Zeiss Ikon Maximar 207/7 9X12cm view camera made in 1930. The lens is a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar, 13.5cm, f/4.5 in a Compur shutter.
Yup, I had to do the cheesy pose with your new camera shot! This is Veronica. My Toyo 45A view camera.
This camera is ridiculously cool. She's kinda huge, too. At 6lbs, this is not really a camera that you hold in your hands and take snapshots with.
There are 2 things I love about this camera: First, It is completely boiled down to the basics of camera technology. Everything is manual. There's no battery. There's no meter. There's no auto-focus. The film comes in sheets.
Second, the whole process of shooting with it has to be slow and methodical. Setting up the camera takes time. Composing and focusing takes time. Its good to slow down. That's been my motto over these past few months...
Me and Veronica are going to have a lovely time in Glacier National Park in a couple weeks. :-)
I've had this classic Playmobil figure in various work cubicles for 15+ years and decided to capture this happy photographer in the field.

Shanghai GP3 @ iso 100. Adolux APH09 (Rodinal). Dilution 1:100, (4ml in 400ml), 19c, 90 minutes. Agitation - 4 inversions at the start and 2 inversions at 30 minutes. . Two water baths (stop). Alkaline fix for three minutes.
I took a picture of the 4x5 negative and inverted it. this is from a film negative, please ignore the EXIF, it was instead of a scanner.
This was a Darlot Petzval 5 1/2" f/3 that came out of a Magic Lantern Projector and placed on a Wisner Technical Field Camera.
Blog Post with More Pictures Missing the rear standard locking knob, but otherwise in good condition. This will make a wonderful portrait camera and I'll also get a 4x5 reducing back on it for landscape, street stuff. The bellows are not original, but they are much more functional than what the original red bellows would probably be. The lens is a Wollensak Versar lens with a non-working shutter. I'm going to get a modern (1970s-ish) Schneider Symmar 300mm lens as a replacement.
The great thing about this camera is that is has the front and rear extension rails and a sliding tripod block.

Taken on the Burnside Bridge in Portland, Oregon, with the famous "Made in Oregon" sign in the background.
The Deardorff I use was made in 1939. It isn't a museum piece. It's heavy, and bulky. I have to be very careful not to break the ground glass while carting it around. Folks stop and ask, "Do they still make film for that?" while I'm using it. That's the question I was asked while setting up for this shot. What inspires me to continue using bulky, old camera with weighty optics is, quite simply, magic. I am always amazed by what film can capture, especially while using tiny apertures. I want as little technology between the shutter and the film as possible. I want to control the exposure. I want to control the focus. I don't want a fancy camera that makes perfect shots every time. I want to make mistakes. I've gotten some great images from mistakes.
Camera: Deardorff V8 with 8x10 back.
Lens: 12" Kodak Ektar
Film: Ilford HP5+ Developed in Kodak HC-110.

Bridge 13 on the Welland Canal carries Main Street across the old Canal channel in Welland, Ontario. A vertical lift bridge, it saw completion between 1927-1930 by the Dominion Bridge Company with much of the steel work being completed by Mohawk Iron workers. It was also the most expensive of all the bridges, clocking in at just under a million, due to the requirement to have a streetcar track installed. The track was never installed. The bridge was offically decomissioned in 1973 with the motors, cables, and counterweights removed.

Originally named "Sarnia Tunnel" to separate the station from the waterfront station, was completed in 1891 to serve the new St Clair Tunnel. The station, designed by Joseph Hobson, in the Gothic Revival style reflects many similar stations that Hobson designed for both Grand Trunk and Great Western. Completed in red pressed brick, with limestone lintels and buff brick accents, the station has a high peak hip roof with wide eves and decorative brackets. The interior featured several waiting rooms with hardwood floors, wainscoting, and superb lighting and heating. A second floor houses the telegraph operator and station master's office to help control traffic in the nearby yard. The station took over all passenger services in 1900 at the closure of the waterfront station and the station received a paint job in the early 20th Century. Canadian National would give a flat grey paint job in the 1960s before cutting passenger services in 1971. Thanks to the efforts of local historical societies, the station received a historical designation in 1975 and prior to reopening for VIA service in 1986 the station's exterior received a full restoration to the original brick. Further repairs to the roof and masonry took place in 2015 and today the station continues to service two daily trains to Toronto.

And so begins the 4x5 journey.
The main reason I got the Shen-Hao 4x5 was to use it to shoot along the creeks where I live. I am sure i will find more uses as I get more comfortable using large format.
This is a scan of my first negative. I didn't even scan this in really high rez but when I pulled the file up in photoshop to see if there was any dust I needed to address, I was blow away at the detail throughout the negative.
The file was 40 MB and I didn't even scan in a very detailed mode, that's a lot of info in one negative !!!!
The day was foggy, drizzly and slightly windy so I picked a pretty tough day to take my first shot but I have to say, the results came out way better than I expected. Actually, I am just happy I loaded the film correctly.

*I am posting four cabinet cards that are new to the photostream and one that I am bringing to the top. I am calling them "Arts & Letters". The group includes cards related to photography, sculpture, painting, music, and books. Since this is one of my favorite cabinet cards related to photography I decided to bring it to the top of my stream as part of the group.
This cabinet card shows a mustached man with a folding camera in a studio setting. My impression is that he brought his prized, and perhaps new, camera and tripod to the studio to be recorded.
I will continue to upload selections of our photographs of photographers with cameras. Please check back in a few days. Until then you can see more of our photographs of photographers at:

For all of you who still don't know, I've a blog about cameras, and camera history, and camera porn and all things camera.
This issue: the Lomography Belair, Vladimir Putin and how two Austrian students never went to the Czech Republic and discovered the LC but found their way to the highest personalities of the Soviet Un... oooops, the New Russia.
Or so my ghost writer told me.

Over the coming months I plan to revisit many photos taken 30 years ago with film and photograph them digitally.
I grew up near this area and lived here for 15 years with my first wife. I photographed here in the 80's and 90's using medium and large format cameras. I hadn't been through there for a number of years and will re-visit many of the images using digital equipment,
