For the first full week in 2019 of my 52 cameras in 52 weeks project, I decided to use my dad's Lizars Challenge folding plate camera.
The film is Rollei PAN 25, an ISO 25 black and white negative film, devloped in Rodinal 1:50 for 11 minutes at 20 degrees.
After more than two years of effort , here is the prototype of the final shape of 'Geometry" .
1500 grams of weight , Asetal/aluminium construction , 15mm shift all directions and tilt/swing limited only by the lens covering capacity .
A 4x5 monorail view camera in the making
Last weekend I started building a 4x5 camera. I have wanted to do this for about two years now, and it feels great to finally have a start on it.

One of my favourite homes in downtown Milton. This lovely Victorian home is one of many historic homes in the downtown although I wish I could have a shot of it without the electrical pole.

I'm not cleaning up the negatives because they are all not in good condition. i just felt like sharing them. So please don't point this out to me.
The Unionville Station was originally completed by the narrow-gauge Toronto & Nipissing Railroad arrived in the village in 1869; the station saw completion in 1871. A small, unassuming shed-like structure set the standard for other T&N stations, including the original station in Uxbridge. It featured a single waiting room, office, and freight room. Despite the move to Standard Gage and purchase by Midland Railroad followed by Grand Trunk in the mid-1880s, the station continued to see use. Even when Canadian National took over, they saw value in the old station, and it was never replaced. CN did cover it with red insulbrick in the 1950s. Passenger Service ceased in the 1960s. A fire in 1971 threatened the station with demolition. But the local community rallied around the station and raised funds to restore the station. It continues to serve as a railroad station for GO Transit since 1982. GO ceased using this station in May 1991, with a new station opening that same year south of the 1871 station.

Manufactured between 1947 and 1973 by Graflex, Inc. A 4x5 view camera for field use. The Crown Graphics have only a front shutter with the lens—there is no rear focal-plane shutter. This example has the top mounted Graphic rangefinder which indicates it was manufactured after 1954. This one is fitted with a Graflex Optar “W.A.” 90mm f/6.8 lens in a Graphex/Wollensak shutter. The shutter supports speeds of 1 sec to 1/400 of a second, has special M and X settings for flash and has an “open” feature for focusing. While the rangefinder is nice, the sports finder get’s you pointed and the focusing scale on the bed can be calibrated, I prefer the ground glass on the graflok back (you kinda get that “Ansel Adams respect” from people in the field when you put this big thing on a tripod and flip your cape over yourself to focus!). This camera is not just a collectable, but a working model. I use it for landscape photography using a Polaroid back. I purchased it from a Canadian professional photographer who used it to shot images for several of his books. A beautiful camera.

I’ve got to confess, I’m in love with this picture. But I can’t be objective, so I’m not sure how good it actually is. The picture is a first for me in many ways, and it came to be under less than ideal circumstances. It was the first time I ever shot Fuji Provia (back in the 90s I only shot Kodak 35mm slide film). It was literally the first exposure I made. It was also the first time I manually metered for slide film. I actually metered several times, as the sun was slowly but steadily disappearing behind clouds as I was setting up, taking all the beautiful light away. It was also the first time I ever developed colour film myself, so I didn’t expect anything good to come out of it. Despite reading through the E6 kit’s instructions many times, I used a wrong agitation scheme for most of the first — and most critical — development stage. However, once I took the slide out of the development tank, I was just blown away. It was still looking a little foggy, but that cleared up as the film was drying. It was in the middle of the night and I couldn’t wait to scan the picture the next morning. Looking at this photo on a hi-res screen is insane and makes me want to get a 40x50 inch print. It’s almost as if I can reach out and touch those leaves.
This biting Winter freeze is making me yearn for the Summer months even more and even though I'm not much of a "beach person" I still wish to feel that warm sand between my toes right now.

This one was taken from the floating dock that sits near the Eastbank Esplanade in SE Portland. The water was still enough to take a 6 minute exposure. I was there with my friend, Mike, who also posed for the "East Berlin" image on my photostream. He shot with his Yashica-Mat, and I with my Deardorff.
Camera: Deardorff V8
Lens: 12" Kodak Ektar.
Film: Ilford HP5+ developed in Clayton F76+

See, this is an impossible macro rig. Well, not really, but very difficult to use correctly due to the lack of TTL meter in the Zenit C, which would make impossible any picture except in the most controlled situations; and the massive Helios 40. I just set the rig together to see how odd it looks, and to assemble a a monster with materials available in the early 60s. Classic and classy. Do not miss the M39 bellows, made by Belomo, really well made and solid. Could be used with a Visoflex too
This is the top section of a multi-part valentine. Additional die cut objects are suspended from the pink ribbons.
What is beautiful? Does everything have to be traditionally pretty? Can I be beautiful despite my physical imperfections and all of my intangible fallacies?

Milton does not owe it's existance or expansion to the railroad like many communities in Ontario do. Milton didn't even have railway access. Milton didn't get it's first railroad until 1876 with Hamilton & North-Western and Credit Valley Railway in 1877. The original H&NW station is long gone, replaced in 1903 by the station pictured above by Grand Trunk. The CVR station remains as a private home today. The 1903 Station served Milton until 1973 when it was moved from Bronte Road to Highway 25 and serves as a tourist information centre today.

This is the final ( I hope ) version of my DIY (d)SLR to View Camera Conversion . A new support for the focusing rail which is now retractable , giving 50 mm more throw without affecting compactness when retracted , new handles , that can be clicked to the most convenient position , and a real bayonet mount for the lens . Bag bellows is in the development stage . Here is some more info

This is, without the shadow of a doubt, the strangest of all consummer Zenits. A body in ABS plastic, moulded like a block, a bottom hinged back that opens by pushing up the eyepiece, a cloth shutted that fired vertically, a GOST stting dial under the bottom plate, an advance lever that makes noise of grinding walnuts... And the best of all: a shutter release button in the back of the camera, right of the eyepiece, which is bad enough if you're right-sighted, but renders the camera absoultely useless if you're left-sighted (as is my case). Princelle says in his book that the Zenit 16 was a failure because the shutter was 'unreliable', without telling why. I personally found that the one in my sample works flawlessly.
All this to hold an M42 lens, which makes this camera not only the strangest Zenit but also the strangest of all M42 cameras, a highly collectible gizmo.
"Scanned" with a Nikon D800.
I'm done! Graduated with my Bachelor of Fine Arts and my show is complete! Now on to bigger and better things...
Another 8x10. I am not doing a back flip over the shot... I think Amanda looks great, but once I get comfortable with how the camera works, I need to start to get more creative and take way bigger risks with the shots. A cool / pretty looking person standing there is neat and all because it is 8x10 and high resolution... but I need to figure out a way to push myself WAY more in the studio. I think I just need to take more chances. It is hard when each 8x10 sheet of film is so precious... when shooting with digital you can just hold your finger down and throw caution to the wind. This is much harder.
It is also a bit of a mystery right now knowing how to get the model to relax when there are only 2 - 3 shots and we are done. With digital, I found the model usually starts to chill out and relax after half hour of shooting. THEN things get good. I took 4 pictures this day!!!! THATS IT. Maybe I need to serve drinks at my shoots ;)
This week I have worked my butt off to set up my first ever photo studio (800 square feet)... I am totally stoked. I am moving in tomorrow night after the paint is dry! Its going to be a blast!! I have tried to set up model & stylist for tomorrow night, but no luck. So, instead I will probably be sitting in there by myself listening to tunes and taking photos of the furniture... I am just dying to christen the studio!!
If any of my Flickr friends lived in Calgary... I would invite you to stop by and have a beer with me... and I would probably talk you into letting me take your portrait.
Taken between Big Pine and Independence just off of Hwy 395. The saddle in the middle is Taboose Pass, I am pretty sure that the mountain on the right is Cardinal Mt, and the peak to the left is Striped Mt.

This is a detail of a photograph of a photographer with his view camera. Does anyone recognize the monument in the background.
*Thanks to a sharp eyed flickr user, Paul Z, I am now sure that this the Confederate monument next to St. James United Methodist Church on Green Street in Augusta, Georgia. I have made an enlarged scan of the large building on the left side of the photograph and the placement and shape of the windows exactly match the photograph of St. James church.
