*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.

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,

On a side note, I'd like to mention that I've recently learned that I have been selected to be the next large format staff photographer for the Heritage Documentation Programs (National Parks Service); HABS/HAER/HALS. This is an unbelievable opportunity and truly, a dream come true.
All the images I make for the Heritage Documentation Prograpms (National Parks Service) will be done on the 4x5, 5x7, and 8x10 formats and will be on display for you to enjoy and download on the Library of Congress website (www.nps.gov/hdp/coll.htm). I hope you will all take full advantage of this unbelievable national resource and use these images to educate those around you about the architectural, engineering, and natural history surrounding the United States of America.
I'd also like to thank everyone who has viewed my photos through the years (Filckr member since 2009). You've all been unbelievable in helping me edit and refine my vision and I can't say thank you enough.
I look forward to seeing many more of your images and discussing your individual photographic technique and approach in the years to come.
We are in the process of photographing much of our collection for the book that will accompany an exhibition in the fall.

Shooting large format in windy conditions is always going to be a challenge, however, more than once the Chamonix Alpinist X has proven to be very wind resistant, especially given it's weight it is extremely stiff and sturdy when fully setup. I was even using my 300mm lens here so the bellows were not at the shortest setting. Luckily for me I was shooting with the sun behind my back while standing in the shadow so I could minimise the use of the dark cloth.
I did not bother waiting for the lights to come on as it would have been way too contrasty for the color slides I was packing that day (Velvia 100) and neither did I wait until the sun was almost about to set, mainly because the horizon looked very haze due to the passing sandstorm and my chances for good light were getting slimmer and slimmer.

Here in Ontario, the term " Township" is not used often today. It is a throwback to the first surveys of Upper Canada. The province was divided into districts, counties, and townships. Townships were then divided into Concessions and Lots. The modern city of Oakville is in the former county of Halton and the Trafalgar Township. Purchased under Treaties 13, 14 and 19 from the Mississauga's of the Credit and surveyed by Thomas Street in 1805. Settlement began in 1807. The Lyon Cabin is the oldest surviving building in Trafalgar Township, originally located on 7th Side Road (Trafalgar Road), where the current City Hall is located and is believed to have been built in 1820. The name comes from the Lyon Family, who occupied the cabin in 1879. The cabin was discovered in 1968, dismantled, relocated in Shipyard Park in 1973 and restored in 2014.

Well, I was certainly surprised with this group. Initially, I warry for nine minutes with a 1+50 dilution, but my concerns were immediately dismissed. These are stunning, with excellent tonality and edge sharpness. The trade-off is a bit more grain, but that's not bad.

Initially settled in 1814, Post's Corners (or Postville as it became known in 1857) formed at 7th Line (Trafalgar Road today) and Dundas Road. At its peak, the hamlet boasted a general store, post office, steam-powered mills, an Inn, Drill Shed, School, several homes and farms. This house was built by James Appelbe, who arrived in Postville in 1866 and quickly became a leading citizen, running the general store and acting as postmaster. He helped lay down a plank road on 7th Line and served as the Justice of the Peace and Treasurer for the Trafalgar Township. The Appelbe house is all that remains of the former hamlet of Postville and was moved 95m back onto new foundations in 2016

Here's where I made a rookie mistake, I left the shutter open and pulled the darkslide, then counted off the 60 second exposure and then 'closed' the shutter, and slid back the darkslide. Whoops, at least it was only over exposed for about 3 seconds. Not too bad.

This was an experimental picture. I was trying to see how much of this side-lit, mossy forest one can squeeze onto an 8x10 negative without making it too busy. It turns out that showing much less of it would have been better. The light was fading, so I didn't have time to set up with a longer lens, but maybe next time.
I'm also testing a new developer. Photographers' Formulary sells something called FA-1027. I really like what I'm seeing from it thus far. I tray developed this one for 10:30 @ 68º. It's not bad as far as the tones go. There just needs to be a tighter crop.

See, I don't really know why this system didn't sell, but it was a matter of bad marketing for sure, because I don't see a reason why people wouldn't like it.
Lenses are good enough, some say they're on par with Leica; and the bodies are nice enough, with fantastic parallax correction, albeit one has to admit that the viewfinder image is a little small.
The most annoying feature is the choice of materials: heaven damn the nineties and the plastic era.
As for the external design, it shares something with the Kyocera-made Contax SLR line, including the cheapo touch of the platic carcass, a feature many cameras of the 90s had.
John G Howard and his wife are both buried in High Park, having deeded their property to the city in 1873, having no children. While they lived in the lodge until their death in 1890.

This is a Rodenstock 180 mm lens in a Copal shutter mounted in a Wista lens board. In other words, it's a roughly "normal" lens for my 4X5 view camera.
atelier ying, nyc.
The artist Nara has created an oeuvre of paintings of cute isolated marginalized kids (this is just my interpretation).
His exhibitions also contain intimate drawing spaces that one can visit, these little studios are a part of his drawing process (along with punk music and beer).
This proposed design for a few camera unifies all these with a drawing in the style of an Aldo Rossi structure in Castellanza.
I've made modifications for both use as a portable laptop desk (or its modern counterpart, the drawing studio) and as a view camera to take portraits of young adults. Two arcades of row houses, probably a Rossi typology, are actually alternating mini refrigerator units for beer bottles and stereo loudspeakers. The camera splits open and fans out to become a tiny drawing studio whose interior is the design of an opera house (my departure from Rossi's original design). The actual drawing table is the opera orchestra's pit, concealing a collection of colored pencils and crayons, Nara's tools of choice for drawing.
When in use as a camera, the floor opens and a lens box is installed from underneath. This lens camera enclosure contains a Lumix Micro 4/3 and a Petzval portrait lens.
The viewfinder concept is in two parts: the dollhouse window used in the drawing studio is the main viewfinder. When the subject is composed the lens box is now installed (in the manner of inserting a film holder into a traditional view camera) to take the photo. Note that an interesting innovation of this viewfinder is that the backdoor entrance to the studio is kept closed all the time and the photographer as a voyeur peers through the back door window at the digital camera's LCD which he controls by a remote. This recalls the experience of a Nara gallery exhibition. An external audio port on the side of the camera brings in music from any mobile device.

Long before Milton's downtown had restaurants, shops, bars, and other commercial ventures. It was the heart of a backwater rural community, industry was no stranger. Take my favourite Thai place in town, it began life as a shoe factory then a knitting mill before becoming a commercial block.

Young man seems interested in the workings of a Sinar F 4x5 view camera at Camera Trader's 11th annual swap meet in Market Square in downtown Victoria BC Canada. A camera swap meet seemed like a logical place to go for candid photo's. Swiss photographer Carl Hans Koch invented the Sinar camera in 1947 due to his dissatisfaction with the limited or imprecise nature of wooden view cameras that were being manufactured at the time. An interesting trend that I have noticed is there is a renaissance in the world of analog (film) users and I have noticed many are young people. This observation is backed up in a survey by the British company, Ilford Photo in 2014 that showed over 30% of people using film still are under 35 years of age. FYI

Take this, capitalist world. Soviet workers could afford at the end of the fifties a quality SLR with a replica of one of the best SLR lenses of the moment, the 58mm Biotar. Not bad for the end of the fifties in the closed Soviet economy. Yes, the Nikon F is almost contemporary to this camera, but you don't have to forget the F was designed as a pro camera and the Zenit is nothing else than an amateur model. Yes, quality models for amateurs, for workers, for proletarians...
Don't take me bad, I'm not justifying the horrible Soviet dictatorship or its flawed economy, but I have to concede some of its goals were somewhat noble at a theoretical level.
The railroad changed everything. First arriving with the Hamilton & Toronto Railway (Great Western) in 1856. This massive bridge is not the original, but rather represents an updated bridge built by 1885 by Grand Trunk, and an extension added in the 20th Century. It still operates and sees tonne of traffic from commuters.

©2010 Phillip Nesmith - This 7x5 wet collodion ambrotype was exposed about 30 seconds before a tropical downpour hit. Once the plate was pulled from the camera, a large plastic bag was placed over the camera and it was left in place.
This is Eugene. I met him on his 36th day of working at this bridge sucking oil from the water. He is the driver and operator of a semi rig that is a vacuum tanker. This portrait was made at the location of what he described as a "great battle" with the oil in the early days of the spill.
The rocks under his feet and behind him are still coated with oil. Hand prints of oil are along the support beam of the bridge behind him. It was special to be able to hear the story of what was happening at this specific place from someone who was playing a significant role.
