Very windy night, with lots of city illumination on the fast moving clouds over Washington, DC. Taken from just inside my front door, to block the wind.

While on vacation in Mexico, I decided to get out of the tourist area, hired a cab for the day and told him to bring me to the "real" parts of Mexico.
As we drove around, we went by this house where they were clearly in the business of making piñata's. I asked to stop and he helped introduce me to the family and we spent about an hour there talking about their business and took portraits of everyone who was home working!! I had a blast and felt that I got some cool shots.
* This shot was taken with the Speed Graphic view camera. It was a pain to travel with all this equipment, and only ended up using the 4x5 three times. Should have made more of a point to pull it out since I brought it all that way!
Now that's a Camera!!! Deardorff still being made in the USA, started in 1916 in Chicago. Now based out of Athens, TN.

Believe it or not, this is a Spanish camera. OK, it's rather a camera made in Spain directly by Kodak. There are some interesting stories from Kodak Spain. It is curious that they decided to set their Spanish subsidiary in Madrid, far away from the Spanish camera factory cluster in Barcelona. As far as I know, at least some models were made in Catalonia, but were labeled 'Made in Spain by Kodak (Madrid)". This misleading information raised criticism in Barcelona, as it was misleading.
Before biting the dust for good, Kodak periodically tried to maximise profit by trying to popularize film formats other than 35mm. Problem is that, insted of offering something better for the users, they simply kept offering something better for Kodak. In the end, users are no fools.
The detail of the water on this bird is what first attracted me to this scene, a bit difficult to zoom in with a 4x5 camera so here is a crop of the bird.
The detail despite the crop just blows me away.
Don’t you like it when something turns out right the first time.
The two 5x7 glass plate holders I bought off eBay arrived today and they fit the camera perfectly. Something you can never count on when matching film holders to a 120 year old camera
The camera is a Rochester Optical Monitor made between 1894 and 1901. One of the holders is marked Rochester Optical and Patent Dated 1890. The other holder its identical, but it isn’t marked. As a bonus, both holders have metal film sheaths to make them able to use 5x7 sheet film. The seller's description didn't mention the Rochester Optical markings so that was really a pleasant surprise.
I have a Dagor lens coming to complete the outfit and the plan is to shoot some glass plate negatives while showing grandson John how a large format view camera operates. I'd like to give him an idea of how I spent my time under a darkcloth in the '70s, '80s, and most of the '90s.

this was another from my senior project back in '08 inspired by Michael Wolf's "Transparent City"
---it's mostly a comment on how people can be so close physically in urban areas (separated only by a ceiling) yet may never know or see each other in their entire lives.
--if you view LARGE you can see all of the detail that the 4x5 captured (i did lower the res some)...you can even see things like a plant sitting on a desk in the office.
Hopefully i adjusted some of the tint (the ambient light in the sky was very cool, so it was difficult...i think the final C-print took me probably 3 hours to print)
Unnamed view camera from circa 1890. Takes 3x4 glass plates.

Second verzion of this project, custom bracket replaces hardware store L plates, shortened monorail, fabbed my own mount for the monorail so that the Toyo mount does not use the space between the standards alowing the use of shorter focal length lenses. See "View Camera Project" tags or set.

Apologies for the mundane photo.
This was taken in mid October. It was my first time out with a 4x5 view camera. It was a cold, terrible, and windy day.
After developing the negs at home, I noticed that at least three of the negs were badly scratched. Bad carriers?
I also should have used more depth of field.
Anyways, nothing of merit here. This is just for scrapbook purposes.

Hero is a well known name in the Swiss food industry, especially for their conserved fruit and vegetables products. This iconic building is inspired by the food cans/tins produced by the company.
Camera: Toyo-View 45GII, Schneider Symmar-S MC 240mm f5.6. Film: Ilford FP4+, developed in Rodinal 1+50, 13:30 @ 21.0°C.
Hows that for frankenkamera obfuscation. This beautiful camera was given to me by my father. Its an old family heirloom. It's still in great shape, actually almost mint, and in full working order, albeit a bit dusty on the outside as you can see from the full size. That old FD 50mm Macro readily outresolves the 42MP sensor of the Sony. I got my copy real cheap online. Its a great and plentiful lens.

" Geometry " is converted to 6X9 View Camera . The conversion was done within 3 hours and using materials from my shelf . As it seems to work , I am designing new standards, a lens plate , and a frame for the ground glass , to register with a 6X9 roll film back pack. More info here bluescargo.gr/geometry/

Yes, the idiot is me. Shit. Spend literally thousands of dollars in equipment and classic cameras just to find that the rig that most suits your present, call it mood, is a Canon EOS 3000v and a Lensbaby Composer. Geez, I have bought the whole set of 50mm Lensbabies. And they ain't cheap. They just suit better than anything the kind of photography that is in my frame of mind at the moment. And I hate it. I just feel so stupid with this in my hands: a plastic camera that looks and feels so cheapo, but that is really convenient because of the relatively high speed of 2000 that almost no classic camera matches and the internal light meter that even allows for aperture priority. I guess that it's the images that matter, but I have to look for a body that makes me feel more comfortable when I'm shooting my Lensbabies, maybe a Nikon F... or a Kiev :)

Rumors of the death of film have been greatly exaggerated. This is my Kodak No. 3A Autographic Brownie folding camera. They were made by Kodak from 1916 until 1926 and shot Kodak 122 roll film which produced a postcard format negative that was 3¼" × 5½" in size. I've been told that it is possible to use current 120 roll film, re-rolled onto a 122 film spool but I have not tried that yet. The original list price on the camera was $18 which was a princely amount for 1916. I purchased this one at an outdoor flea market in Kutztown, PA during the Summer of 2013.

This is the first model of a long running series of Spanish amateur, very simple, 35mm viewfinder cameras. Although they were cheap enough, the overall of the brand gets worse with the years compared with what other countries do, IMHO. This first model is rather honest, no hoaxes, as many later model incorporated fake selenium lightmeters, ASA selectors and even fake accessory shoes. Two speeds, three iris settings, beggining with f7, an achromatic glass uncoated lens. Took pictures.
At one time Calumet manufactured its own view cameras in Chicago. However the Horseman line were made in Japan by Komamura.
This Photograph that I took in September 1991 shows Madison Photo Plus in Madison, New Jersey, where I bought most of my Photography Equipment before 1996, when I still lived in New Jersey. Next door is Rocco's Pizza, where I often ate lunch when I worked in nearby Florham Park.
Disclaimer: I took these photos in September 1991 with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 SLR using Color Print Film, when I was just learning photograph; so they are very soft & grainy. I scanned the Color Negatives and used Photoshop Elements to correct the exposure and to generate these Digital Images.
